Is everycopy written upside down and backwards?

Is everycopy written upside down and backwards? or did I get a misprint

I will never eat calamari again!

Interesting info about an amazing animal. Animal and biology lovers will appreciate the book. It became repetitive after the detailed description of 3 of the individual animals. Watch the documentary “My Octopus Teacher” for another study of these beautiful and intelligent creatures.

The Soul of an Octopus is a wonderful true story from Sy Montgomery

I have read 4 books by Sy Montgomery.....she writes beautifully, teaches wonderfully, and makes you want to keep reading! Her books are true stories...which in itself is amazing, since she could easily be killed with her real encounters with dangerous animals! I wonder who should read this book...EVERYONE, including young adults....and I am almost 70! One other of her books, THE GOOD GOOD PIG is also one of my favorites....don't pass her by because you may have never heard of her...wonderful writer!

Entertaining and enlightening--what more could one ask
