The principal navigations, voyages, traffiques & discoveries of the English nation : made by sea or over-land to the remote and farthest distant quarters of the earth at any time within the compasse of these 1600 yeeres / by Richard Hakluyt. (OCLC #6737)

This volume looks fine from the outside, but its text block is upside down! Not really a problem, you just have to flip it over to read it.

We’re barcoding and labeling it as usual, and I wrote the call number on the back of the actual title page (as I also do for books in right-to-left reading languages like Japanese). I mentioned the oddity in a note:

590 __ ǂa Young Library copy of volume 11 bound upside-down.
