Toby Young, media slut, must be a very annoying person to know in real life, but I enjoyed his first book How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. (Roger Ebert's review of the film version also acts as a nice intro to what Toby does.)
I picked up the paperback of the sequel, The Sound of No Hands Clapping, at the Penguin sale. It's published by Abacus and this paragraph occurs close to the very end:
Noticing that he'd left his email address at the end of the book, I wrote to him pointing out the typo. He replied:
Thanks. Good spot. Not sure there will be any more editions, but if there are I'll be sure to correct it.
What is the typo that I spotted?
