I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

As we settle in here for the long haul, it feels right to repost the greatest typo that we ever encountered...

(Not saying which book; that feels mean.)
"Around the same time, in a development which was to be responsible for the massacre of thousands of women in Northern Europe, woman-as-Eve was being transformed into woman-as-witch; as a result the Church, in the shape of the Inquisition, was able to torture, drown, hang and bum those women who did not match the narrow Christian ideal of womanhood..."
