Message-ID: <3678@topaz.RUTGERS.EDU> Date: Tue, 17-Sep-85 00:54:29 EDT Article-I.D.: topaz.3678 Posted: Tue Sep 17 00:54:29 1985 Date-Received: Fri, 20-Sep-85 02:16:34 EDT Sender: daemon@topaz.RUTGERS.EDU Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 33 From: Peter G. Trei Has anyone noticed the a certain new publication from Bluejay books? It is one of those expensive 'trade' paperbacks, with wide margins, large type, and profuse (poor) illustrations. I have not named the author and title as these are indeterminate. The front cover claims it to be "Rogue Queen" by "L. Spraque de Camp". The edge of the binding, on the other hand, declares it to be "Rouge Queen" by the same mysterious and hitherto unknown author. Opening it, you find that while the title 'Rogue Queen' seems to be intended, the book was allegedly written by our old friend L. Sprague deCamp. We are all aware that the standards of spelling and proofreading have declined dramatically over the last decade or so, but this is the most blatant example I have yet seen. When I saw this in the bookstore edge-on, I seriously thought for a moment that Rouge Queen was the title! If I were Mr. DeCamp, I would be VERY upset with Bluejay. Can anyone think of another cover typo so careless? This is definitely the worst I have ever seen. Peter oc.trei@cu20b.arpa ------- Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
