Typo in The Stand

[Elizabeth Lewis]

Am reading THE STAND, THE COMPLETE & UNCUT EDITION.

I believe there is a typo on p. 579, second to last paragraph:

I believe "careeRing" should be "careeNing."

AND?? The typo is probably the publishing company's fault, maybe drop them an email.
I'm just kidding.

I have been Careering before. I once quit a job and it had me careering for several months.

Bev is right-but it would have been less of a wisecrack opportunity for your friendly neighborhood smart-aleck...

I'm re-reading this fantastic novel anf there are many typos in my copy - I blame the copy editor. History is not spelled Hsitory. Guess someone was just thinking of the home-time bell that day.
Best, Becks.

Our re-read group that just finished the unabridged version of The Stand discovered two spellings for Ms. Freeman -- Abigail and Abagail. Copy editor again,

Typographical errors abound these days. Years ago I worked as a proofreader. I was fairly good at it--I'd found typos in a Webster's dictionary, for example--and decided one day to submit my resume to a school book publisher. My resume was returned to me with corrections in the dreaded red pen. The big problem was, all of the "corrections" (there were five of them) were incorrect. I took that marked-up resume, photocopied pages from the dictionary showing that my spelling was correct, and mailed it back with a brief letter thanking that publisher for the rejection...as I don't work well with the illiterate.

I then went on to work in radio, where I don't have to deal with red pens.
