So I'm walking through Costco yesterday and out of the corner of my eye...or "I" rather...I see a Jane Austen DVD and it catches my attention immediately because in very very tiny print, I see that they have spelled Austen incorrectly on this DVD (can you see it in the pic?). Unbelievable! They messed up the name of one of the most read and most beloved writers! How does this happen? Who is the copy editor? Did they even have one? Dear Heavens, the single most important word on the entire DVD is Austen! It haunted me throughout Costco. I wanted to go back with a red Sharpie and circle the typo on all the DVDs.

Maybe they'll reward you with something.

This could be a trend for you. You could be the "Sharpie Bandit" running around malls across the country copy editing things. Maybe scribbling random commentary as you go too. Could be very amusing if you can keep from getting caught. :)
Too costly to reprint a classic??amazing Sandy
