If I could get some thoughts I'd appreciate it. I just got this copy of the Silmarillion in the mail today (UK 1977 First Edition) and the printing on the spine was a fair bit off center. It got me a little worried, but aside from the spine printing the rest of the book appeared to be in good order. Do you think this is within the realm of plausible printing error or should I send it back to the seller with a red flag?

I am not sure a seller would have even noticed it unless really looked.
A printing error I would say and nothing more

Definitely a printing error, which is to be expected in a small number of copies when you consider the sheer number of these that GA&U printed in the late 70's. Whether you send it back to the dealer is kind of up to you. These print errors don't increase the value at all, just defective copies. Have to ask yourself if you can live with it or not.

Thanks for the reply! That's very reassuring.
