This year, I read the first time book, Wertheimer’s Rethinking the Ethics of Clinical Research, and I wrote down in single typo or other sort of mistake that I have in the book. It is quite an extensive list of the end and it.
I suppose through that link I became more sensitive it finding typos i I look. I recently re-read a book from my childhood that remains a favourite of mine: The Silver Chair, by C. S. Lewis.
And Yet found a typo in it. I scanned it as posted it as an image on to this post.
It’s horrifying p. 122. I’m no of what to go to a library and see if the car typo is in other editions. The edition book I used to the van Scholastic reprint. Can anyone else, who has launched copy of another edition of The Silver Chair, find this typo in our way I’m really curious as a sample widespread this is, and terrible day back the typo goes.
Is it unique to the victim Scholastic edition? Or does is typo goes all the way back, unnoticed to Bring himself?
I’ve got a version from 1975 that doesn’t have the typo. Also, way to notice these things. Normally I read so quickly that the typos don’t even register, especially in old favorites.
Now that is interesting.
That means that at some point between 1975 and 1995, someone working for the publisher must have re-typed the whole of The Silver Chair and made that mistake when typesetting it.
You get 5 points for looking that up. :)
I have a 2004 Harper collins anthology with (as far as I can tell) the original 1953 manuscript. There is no typo.
Five points for you too!
This is another point in favour of the “typo came from a reprinting between 1975 and 1995” theory.
I have the version with all seven books, and The Silver Chair has only 106 pages. So I don’t know what page to check.
It’s in the chapter called “How They Discovered Something Worth Knowing,” I think.
