Based on feedback from readers and an e-mail exchange with the University of Chicago Press, it appears that bad printings of The Jugger were limited to a very small number of copies. If you do get one, you can call their customer service department at (800) 621-2736 and they will replace it.
Thanks to the University of Chicago Press for getting these books back in print and for their quick action on this matter. Now go buy The Jugger!
