I’m currently reading “The Number of the Beast” by Robert Heinlein. Book is from the 1980s, and there’s a completely doubled up paragraph in the book! It spans two pages but the image shows enough I think.

I had a German language "choose your own adventure" book as a kid that was written like that. I think one of the stories was about a boy time-traveling to the time of the dinosaurs.
