  My father was a prof and said that’s basically all they do between editions. “Enlarge the margins… shrink the margins…” he said, to throw off the page numbering, I guess.

      Ha! Shrink the margins to enlarge their margins? Nope, not intended. Good spotting.

        I wonder if your father intended it? It's funny to think the joke might have gone unnoticed all those years!
