Found errors in the book, "Raise the Titanic"

Raise the Titanic page 111, line 32, has the word “sent" instead of “send” including the ARC, the only two editions that have the correct word “send” are the large print and ironically the Viking edition with the misspelling Cliver on the spine. It has also been noted that in the next sentence, the error word workship as apposed to workshop 




Andy Sheer - An agent at the Hartline Literary Agency, has a wealth of experience as a publishing professional with over 18 years as the managing editor of Moody Magazine, also editor of the Dirk Pitt books, Havana Storm, and Odessa Sea, had this to say on the post from my FB page.

"The proofreader must have sneezed (and blinked) when checking that line. For me, I'm still amazed at anyone wanting Canadian bacon pizza--and pairing it with Gallo burgundy. That's so much more evocative than merely mentioning cheap red wine and carry-out pizza."

  1. In chapter 82 there is a passage "The directions gave the farm's location as three kilometres east on the next country lane to Southby".
    As this is is in England the distance would be in miles not kilometers.
