Grammar Gaffs and Typos and Formatting Errors, Oh My!
Available September 6. |
The first print run of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone contained about 500 books with an error on page 53. Yeah, I'll give you a moment to go snatch up your copy and flip open to that page.
Okay, ready?
Now then, the mistake lists "1 wand" twice in an inventory of first-year wizarding supplies. Not that big of an error, but big enough for one of these boo-boo editions to hit the auction at Bonhams Fine books and Manuscripts Sale for a whopping $33,500.
Does your copy list it twice? If so, you stand to make some serious bank.
As for me, I'm not sweating it anymore. One typo could make all the difference.
