Man, the anxiety just keeps getting ratcheted up!

Midgley, a volume that we expect to become more generally available sometime during the month of March (when we will also make a COVID-compliant formal presentation). It was compiled by friends and former colleagues and students of Professor Midgley as a token of the great affection and esteem in which we hold him. You can get some sense of its contents here:
Ted Vaggalis and Daniel C. Peterson, eds., Remembrance and Return: Essays in Honor of Louis C. Midgley
The book is being jointly published by The Interpreter Foundation, of Orem, Utah, and Eborn Books, of Salt Lake City, Utah.

They won't appreciate the news, of course, but it would be kind on your part to spare them further embarrassment.
LOL! So, whose fault is it then? It may be worth snagging a copy, just so you can have the version with the error in it! It could become a Mopologetic collector's item--sort of like the physical copies of the "Metcalfe is Butthead" issue of the
FARMS Review.
By the way, the "For Authors" section at Eborn Books
reads as follows:
Eborn Books publishes works of a historical, doctrinal, and biographical nature about people or aspects of the LDS or Mormon Faith. We welcome manuscripts that capture and present material that is not published anywhere else. Some of our authors are scholars, others simply individuals with a passion for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the historical figures of the faith. If you would like to submit your manuscript for publication please feel free to do so as we are always interested in new manuscripts that meet our publishing interests. We highly recommend having your book as press ready as possible prior to submission. Please ensure that your manuscript has been edited, peer-reviewed, and represents thorough research and development. Good luck, and we look forward to reading your material.
(emphasis added)
I assume that when Dr. Peterson says, "I have no control over the typographical errors," what he actually means is: "I tried emailing and calling them, but they're not answering. It's Sunday, after all, so at minimum, the error is going to be up there until tomorrow." You have to wonder if some yelling will be involved.
In any case, quite a tough one to absorb, eh? And to think: this is happening on the week that "Witnesses" is set to debut! I bet there have been a lot of difficult, sweat-drenched nights these past couple of weeks.
"If, while hoping that everybody else will be honest and so forth, I can personally prosper through unethical and immoral acts without being detected and without risk, why should I not?." --Daniel Peterson, 6/4/14
