Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })If a character is doing something they want to keep secret and are suddenly interrupted (perhaps by a knock on the door), they will often grab a book to make it appear that they were reading and not scheming against the villain. When they do, they will be holding the book upside-down when the door opens because they were too rushed to ensure they were holding it properly. It makes little sense since most people store their books oriented properly. (It makes more sense if the book was just lying around somewhere.) For added comedy, the person who arrived may take the book and rotate it for the reader's benefit. Occasionally, the character who was pretending to be reading will be holding the book right side up, but, since the book is almost invariably chosen at random, its subject matter is likely to be something the character wouldn't read about under normal circumstances.

In Goldfinger, Bond is deliberately left by Goldfinger alone in his estate to see if he'll snoop around. Bond, obviously, ignores the risk on purpose to snoop around. When he finds at the last moment that he's being recorded, he quickly throws the nearby cat into the film reels and rushes downstairs to pretend he's reading a magazine. He barely notices he's holding it upside-down. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Chapter 1 features a station where people can sleep while waiting for their boat or train, but only on the floor, while the only slightly less dirty but more comfortable sofas are forbidden. When Emil ends up having to use them, Siv teaches him a handy piece of Loophole Abuse: falling asleep with an open book on one's face, and claiming to have been reading it if caught by a guard. Emil does the trick correctly, except for one detail: he leaves the book on his face upside down, which causes him to not be very convincing between the moment he "resumes" reading it and the moment he notices the mistake. | |

The 1980 BBC TV version of Hamlet, with Derek Jacobi as Hamlet, does this in the first scene of Act III (in which Polonius sets Ophelia to wait in a room that Hamlet is about to pass through, in the hope that he'll tell her what he's up to, and gives her a book to read as an excuse for being there). When Hamlet enters, he notices she's holding the book upside-down, and turns it right-side-up. | |

Harry Potter: Subverted in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Cloudcuckoolander Luna Lovegood actually is reading The Quibbler upside down... because the answers to the quiz are printed upside down to stop people cheating. Harry finds an article on a set of runes that if read upside down will reveal a spell to turn someone into a kumquat in The Quibbler, which he figures is the reason why Luna had it upside down when they first met. When Hermione tells Professor McGonagall about Harry getting a Firebolt for Christmas and then the teacher goes to temporarily confiscate it so that it can be checked for jinxes/hexes (on the chance that Sirius Black sent it), Hermione hides her face behind a book that she holds upside down. |

The Dogs of War. A Corrupt Corporate Executive gives an African dictator a mining contract to sign, but deliberately inverts a page to see if he can actually read it — the dictator turns the page without reacting. A customs official in his country checks a mercenary's passport, even the photograph, but doesn't realise he's holding it upside down until he looks at the insignia on the cover. | |

In the Defenders of the Earth episode "A Demon in His Pocket", Kshin turns to Mandrake's collection of sorcery books (which he is forbidden to touch) in the hope of finding a spell he can use on the school bullies. Later, Mandrake comes into the library to check on Kshin, but Zuffy delays him long enough for Kshin to put the sorcery book he was reading back on its shelf, find the scroll containing the spell for summoning the titular demon and grab another book at random. The book in question is about "Wallpapering your Kitchen". | |

In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Dr. Henry Jones, Sr. tries to hide himself from the Nazi Colonel Vogel using his newspaper. Unfortunately, he's holding it upside down and doesn't notice without his glasses on, which is presumably how Vogel sees right through this. | |
