Not so unfortunate!  I think it's an amusing addition. =)

<p><strong>Is there a way to access passage 2,600 in <em>The Book of Tales</em> through normal play?</strong></p>

<p>Passage 2,600 in <em>The Book of Tales</em> appears to be a humorous easter egg referencing the fact that it is the last passage in the book and congratulating you for reaching it.  Can this passage be accessed through any adventures in the game, or is it simply a joke to be found by those who happen to read it (by accident or otherwise)?</p>
