I gues these are the equivalent of prototypes in the publishing industry.

How often do anyone of you run into that kind of print?
I rarely see this kind of thing, but I do have a book titled "Marching
Thru Georgia" that was published in the 1800s that has *three* hard covers
on it and all three are a different style, color and material! Inside the
book it mentions that the books are available with three different covers
so I guess this one was a "demo" to show the different cover styles. Also
some of the pages are missing. But they weren't removed since the binding
is intact and even pages that should be on the same sheet of paper are
missing. For example, page 99 will be on the RH page and when you turn the
page page 100 should be on the left but it will be missing and page 101
will be there instead! Very strange! I've never seen or heard of a book
like it before.

Indeed. When I was preparing to teach a computer architecture course
a few years ago, I got an advance copy of Patterson & Hennessy's
Computer Organization & Design: The Hardware/Software Interface.
It was labeled a beta version. Inside the front cover was an order
form for the real version when it came out. Of course, it's in
second edition now.
