...it's not a very big one and it just adds to the charm of the book.... :)
I wonder if anyone else has spotted it... answer in a week. Meanwhile, for those who have finished it, I'm sure you will all want to grab your books and start reading it again? I certainly do and I have only just finished Chapter 7 (from the end of Chapter 2 this morning :D ) Can't wait to get back to it... :)

Yikes! I'm usually the one who trips over those, Annabel...gimme a hint where to look...like a chapter. I bet I find it, too!;)

I saw it too.. but I forgave it.
Oh, well, I'm going to go back and read it again, anyway. Nothing sticks the first time for me except the bare bones.

Nope, not possible.....Janis is incapable of human errors.... Must be that we are all having simotanious eye failings...:o

Of course it's not Janis' error, silly! It's the typesetter's fault. Sheesh.:p

OK....clue: between Chapters 4 and 7
... and Randy, I don't need my eyes tested!!!! :rolleyes:
I remember noticing something but can't recall now. I did notice in the appendix, Carole King is spelled without the "e"

That'sd the....um.....index! Oh and I'm two chapters from the end and I've come across some more. It will be a let down when I finish it, but will go back and read it again and again and again and again. I'm learning so much just by reading this fabulous book.... :)

Haven't got as far as two chapters from the end. I did notice the "Carol" mistukse.
and i debated if it was an index or an appendix.
i knew it wasn't a gaul blatter. That i was sure about!

I would happily gloss over a misprint or incorrect fact
this is 350 pages of exquisiste prose.

Hey all...
I picked up the book at the Birchmere on Thursday; too tired to read on Friday so I began the book on Saturday...helped my husband get ready for an out of town trip beginning today; and still finished the book before ten
thirty last night....hungering for more; but, we know the rest of the story from where the book left off.....Janis, WOW!!!!!

This talk of misprints took me back to my classroom. When my students would find an error in something I created or said first I'd tell them that I had purposely made the mistake to see who was paying attention. (Yeah I know, they didn't buy that either.) Then I would remind them of the design of Persian rugs.
Expect slight inconsistencies and at least one imperfection in a hand-woven rug originating from a country in the Middle East. The philosophy, from an Islamic point of view, is that only God is perfect, and, therefore, nothing man makes should be perfect. A flaw will be carefully woven into each rug.
The book is an amazing read. I'm heading back into it not to find flaws but to see what new reveals itself on the second read. Thanks Janis for weaving for us.

How true, cause Janis is only "God-like" .... close but not perfect.
Tomorrow I have Jury Duty to report to... guess I have a good book to keep me occupied while I wait.
I can hear it all now:
"Wait a minute, Judge...only a few more pages to the end of this chapter..."

The purpose of this is 1) to see who spots them 2) to see where they are 3) to correct them for the next edition and 4) thereby to increase the value of the first edition....the ones we have. This will make our first edition copies incredibly valuable and so on.....

I noticed what you were talking about and thought it was just me that noticed. Great minds must be thinking the same thing.
All in all though, yeah, we should hide our versions and when it goes to paperback and gets corrected, we can charge tens of dollars for our original "flawed" editions ;)

Even more, when signed by the great lady herself :) IS my copy the first signed copy in the UK?
