Tim Tam Slam – if you don’t know what this is, you ought to give it a try. It is especially fun in a family setting. Buy some Tim Tams and bring them to the party this Christmas.
Proofreading is important. I saw a brand new book today in an expensive set that I’ve mentioned a couple of times recently on my other blog and this is what is said on the cover: “1 & 2 Kinds, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther.” (Photo here).
Another embarrassing book cover typo I heard about recently: Sheffield released a book about a “Hebrew Profit.”
The Big Picture has the best photos of the year. Some are amazing, some disturbing. Each one tells a story.
I’m off for Florida for the weekend where I will be a groomsman in a wedding. This is the first wedding I’ve been in since my own. There’s a haunting irony in the fact that it’s the wedding of one of the guys from Square B.
Thanks for posting a picture of the book cover. I don’t know if I would have believed it without seeing it :). That is a BIG mistake.
A friend of mine who traveled to New Zealand brought the Tim Tam Slam back with him and we enjoyed it quite exuberantly!
Proofing (or lack thereof) certainly affects one’s perception of the intelligence of the author/editor, and maybe even the veracity of the message being communicated. Those book cover mistakes are unfortunate.
