Interesting article, Bill. In addition to the three instances you found of the inverted page 64 I know of two other printings with that flaw.
Both were earlier than the Appeal Pocket Series. There were two printings of the People’s Pocket Series between the PPS you have w/o the flaw and the
APS printing you note with it.
Looks like there were 5 printings with the inverted page but they came out in a relatively short period of time. The earliest was around the end
of 1921 to early 1922, the latest came very late 1922 to early 1923.
A new setting of type, a new edition, was prepared for the printing that had a Ten Cent wrapper with two ads on the back. I have never seen that
edition with a Five Cent Pocket or Pocket Series wrapper. It was printed as a Little Blue Book with a small number, likely late 1923 and then printed
at least another seven times. The last two printings were likely in the 1950’s.
I hope that helps.

I would like to thank Scott for the work he has put into this to
improve the essay and to make it technically feasible.

Thanks for a reply on LBB#50- I am about to travel for 6 weeks, so
will probably redo the essay with extra information later. I suppose I
come to LBB collection with a background of philately where errors
have the capacity to make stamps more valuable. It does not appear to
be the case with books, but I am trying to make the point that errors
can be informative.
BTW any comment on error #190 instead of #50. Has this been observed
elsewhere? Or the consistent black mark. " Page 64 is included the
right way up, but there is a large black mark which appears never to
have been corrected"
Thanks - have to finish!
Bill
