I wanted a copy of GPU Pro 4 in my hand, so I bought one online (and they are pricey nowadays).

Just received it.
It's incorrectly printed. 🫠

It was sent from a small UK shop, I'm surprised they let it pass like that.

I'm sooooo disappointed...

@froyok try Lulu.com, it's a service meant for self publishing. However, you can test print any pdf you upload without it checkinf if you have permission to do so. So you can just grab the GPU Pro 4 pdf and make it a private unreleased book on your account, and order a single test print. Their prices are very low. Last christmas I did this with a copy of The Book of Shaders, and my print was only $8.78.

@GabeMoralesVR Hmm, this will be a last resort option to me because if I can pay the authors I wouldn't mind.

@froyok perhaps reach out to to the author for permission, and offer to send them some money directly. I did this with a website I scraped once to get a physical book printed. Good on you for looking out for the author!
