A Steroid Hit The Earth: A Celebration of Misprints, Typos and Other Howlers

A joyous and irreverent paean to gaffes of all sorts, this hilarious collection gathers together the best typos from newspapers and publications from around the world. With errors that include the confusing as well as the borderline offensive, these slip-ups are accompanied by confessions from industry insiders such as editors and typesetters who provide the history of how and why misprints come to pass. Witty and surprising, this is a compendium that celebrates the impossibility of getting everything right every time.
