Here is something interesting. I have owned this for nearly fifteen years. Obviously, we know OSC wrote the novelization for James Cameron's The Abyss.

That is not being questioned.

What's funny is that I own a version of novel which claims otherwise. It is a funny misprint I have kept all these years,

The dust jacket for my HC for The Abyss clearly states on the cover:

The
Abyss

based on an original screenplay by
ORSON SCOTT CARD

A Novel by Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Author
JAMES CAMERON

...and yes, the bizarre capitalization is exactly how it's printed.

What's odd is that the spine is labeled correctly...

A Novel by
ORSON SCOTT CARD

based on an original screenplay by
JAMES CAMERON

Funny, no?

That might be worth something you know

I can't see myself selling it to anyone. I think the only exception would be if OSC asked for it.

Awesome printing-error correction...you might have just found a new collector's item.
