Curious question though.  Why are double covers way more common than double pages?  I mean I've never seen a double centerfold or double page 13-16 etc.

I believe it is the printing process.

The interior pages are printed on a big sheet, then folded and cut. Then the covers are attached

Covers are printed seperately and attached later. I've seen plenty of books with extra pages, and even a few with some pages printed upside down or backwards. The books with extra pages ma be easier for quality control to pick out.

My understanding is the slick cover stock makes it more likely for the machine to grab more than 1 at a time (i.e. the glossy cover stock is just a tiny bit sticky).  Some of the other errors like inverted pages or extra pages are considerably less common in my experience.

Also, hello to OKC!  Love that city!  I have friends down there and every time we visit, we love to go out to one of the many great restaurants like The Metro and The Jones Assembly.  Some incredible culinary talent in that city!  Even if it's just Ted's Escondido.
