Thanks to everyone who's replied with a definite "intentional." I also appreciate the cataloging and preservation tips.
Cheers!

Subject: intentional or mistake?
> Hello Everyone,
>
> We just received our copy of Gordon Matta-Clark's book by Phaidon
> Pr (ISBN 0714839167). Acquisitions was going to send it back
> because the center of the spine is cut out. Fortunately, they
> called me to take a look at it. I noticed that while the spine
> has been cut out, it was neatly done. Further, when I opened the
> book and looked at its content, images with cut-outs, I figured
> it's simply great packaging.
>
> I showed it to my colleagues in reference and they are divided
> whether it was done intentionally or by mistake. Any of you have
> a copy of this book and noticed the cut out spine?...you wouldn't
> have missed it.

> Thanks.
