The binding says: TIME UNTAMED - Azimov, Bradbury, others He wasn't exactly an unknown author even then. (He gets misspelled in another Blluejay Book also, on the title page on SHERLOCK HOLMES THROUGH TIME AND SPACE, as "Issac Asimov".) But misspelling both the author's name *and* the title on the cover must be a new record. This isn't an on-the-binding error, but Ace Books, in their "Thieves' World" books, has an introduction which has 7 typos on one page--and they've re-used it uncorrected in several of the books!
