Gaiman's Law
The rule, named by Hank after Gaiman, that when your first book is published you open it at a random page and find possibly its only typo.
Early context: Having watched John go through it, Hank attests that Gaiman is right, and says John fell victim to 'Gaiman's Law': on first publication you open the book straight to its only typo. — May 1st: Neil Gaiman in Helena 00:00:40
