Snafu and The Travelers’ Market

Such a good word. Okay, I never knew it was an acronym unitl I just checked out Wikipedia. Did everyone else know that already? It’s just is one of those words that is fun to say when everything else around you is not fun at all, when situations have gone awry, off kilter, catiwampus and generally deflated like a popped balloon.

So what is the bad news, you ask? The first round of Travelers’ Market had typesetting errors. Words are hyphenated in odd places, double periods, backwards quotation marks, the list goes on. As soon as I realized this, changes were overnighted and a new printing is in place, but books went out. All the books were pulled and labeled as uncorrected proofs. So, if you, dear reader, received one of the snafu copies, you can return it for a new unsnafued one or you can keep it and consider it a collector’s item or use it to teach your kids proof reading–25 cents an error?

How embarrassing.
