I recently purchased a copy of the old starter boxed set for D&D that came out in 2000 at the dawn of 3rd edition. The box is titled Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game and says The Adventure Begins Here! on the box cover and has the 3E iconic characters on it like Regdar and Mialee.
Inside, one of the books that comes with it is an adventure book. This book is 48 pages including the front and back cover. The problem is, a bunch of the pages are repeats and some are missing (as in not printed). My copy goes pages 1-8, 17-24, 17-32, 25-32 and then 41-48. Basically it's a hot mess and I don't have copies of pages 9-16 or 33-40. Was this a common printing error? Is there an errata PDF of this book out there somewhere?
thanks,

Sounds like one of those things that occasionally happen when books are printed. The store you bought it from should grant you a replacement copy if they still have one.
Here's an answer from WotC customer service regarding D&D product replacement:
Dungeons & Dragons: Replacing Defective Product
According to that page, WotC only replaces 4th edition product, not defective products from older editions. So I suppose the store you bought it from is your only option.
