Is it worth recalling a novel with typos?
)
October 2nd, 2010
This article talks of the newly released Jonathan Franzen novel being recalled in the UK because of “typesetting errors”... I understand the publishing company not wanting an incorrectly printed book in circulation as it makes them look bad, and I understand the sentence about the author having worked on the book for so long and wanting the correct final version out (though if it’s typesetting, then surely his words are still the same?)... but I usually equate recalls with items that have been found potentially dangerously defective…
What do you think?
