n cherry Posted 23 November , 2008 Share Posted 23 November , 2008 I would like to apologise to any forum members who have a paperback copy of MuG for the unfortunate error on page 97....kindly pointed out by a forum member...... I did not get to see the 'new' version and would have assumed that the layout would have stayed the same but not the case on page 97 where a table has been inserted into the middle of some text! I have spoken to Helion and they said they will correct next time some are run off...... This does not affect the lucky people who had the hardback version as there is no problem with the text on page 97! Once again apologies.......

Regret to say it's not just page 97 but every casualty table in that chapter, if not mistaken but I hasten to add that it is obviously an editing error and does not detract from the quality of the book as a whole, which I found extremely interesting cheers Martin B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinWills Posted 14 December , 2008 Share Posted 14 December , 2008 Comes to something if the author can't spot all the errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thGordons Posted 14 December , 2008 Share Posted 14 December , 2008 Comes to something if the author can't spot all the errors. This seems a little unfair. These are clearly formatting/typsetting errors, likely generated after the manuscript has left the author's hands. If you have had a text come out in hardback and sell out, and it is then reissued (not revised and updated etc, not another edition but simply reprinted in another binding) I should think the emphasis here is on the publisher and printer. I would not think it is incumbent upon the author to recheck the typsetting, nor would I imagine any but the most egotistical authors spend much time reading their own book.
