*blink blink* That's a heckuva an editing mistake: "Several paperbacks had tumbled out onto the sidewalk. They were now quite thoroughly ruined. 'Better you than the books,' Chris pointed out." Better you were run over and ruined by the truck than the books? What?!

Except, due to how the previous sentence is structured, it ends up with the exact opposite meaning. It should be "Better the books than you."
OUCH!! I read it the same way - better you ruined than the books!
It totally interrupted my reading, that's for sure! "Wait, wtf?!"
