Here at last is a side-splitting collection of all those authors errors, publishers' boobs, printers' devils, terrible titles, horrendous howlers, comical clangers and all manner of slips committed to paper almost since the invention of the printing press.
Painstakingly researched and tapping into the general public's fascination with the written word, each chapter is wittily introduced and reflects changes in tastes, styles, even printing technology. From Montaigne through Dickens to Kafka and on to the present day, there are curious opening lines, fantastic fictions whose titles are too bad to be true and some of the most suggestive double entendres committed by those who really should have known better!
