Typos in international books (1)
I think typos are quite charming. This may have something to do with the fact that all Matahari Books titles have them, damnit!

hmm, "it's" should be "its"?
ReplyDeletei was never any good at 'spot the difference'! :(
It's "it's".
ReplyDeleteBetul! Stay tuned for the second book!
ReplyDeleteEven Malcolm Gladwell's book, Outliers, which I'm currently reading, has typos!
ReplyDeleteCoincidence: I am reading BLINK! Bought it 2 years ago after a friend said it changed his life, but then I abandoned it, as I do so many other books that had proven to be life-changing to others. Picked it up again today and couldn't put it down!
ReplyDeleteSame here! I couldn't get past the first few pages of BLINK! I never finished his other book, The Tipping Point, either. But after Outliers, I'm ready to give both books a second chance. After I read something else, tho.
ReplyDeleteOMG the bloody proofreader should be sacked!
