How about Belmont Books on their 1967 book TIME UNTAMED?  The binding says:
	TIME UNTAMED - Azimov, Bradbury, others

He wasn't exactly an unknown author even then.  (He gets misspelled in another
Blluejay Book also, on the title page on SHERLOCK HOLMES THROUGH TIME AND
SPACE, as "Issac Asimov".)  But misspelling both the author's name *and* the
title on the cover must be a new record.

This isn't an on-the-binding error, but Ace Books, in their "Thieves' World"
books, has an introduction which has 7 typos on one page--and they've re-used
it uncorrected in several of the books!
