I really wish this was a thread about the reviews of PNL and not about the VERY forgivable mistake on the BACK of the freaking cover.

Any idea when this will be available at amazon.com? I would order it from ConJelCo directly (hey, you even support Paypal) but international ordering isn't as flexible as on Amazon: I wouldn't want to take the chance of getting the package lost with the cheapest shipping method from Conjelco [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Hi Everyone:

It's been pointed out to me that this scan doesn't look as much like the real cover as it should. Specifically, about one-quarter inch on the right side has been cut off. So there is no overlap on the cover title and the spacing is well done. In addition, the background is not purple as the scan appears, and the background of the main verbage box is not anywhere near as dark as the scan appears. So in reality, it's a much better looking cover than what appears here.

Best wishes,
Mason

I didn't think it looked bad from the scan.

I think we all assumed that some of the page had been cut off but it's nice to hear that the contrast didn't show up quite as well.

Having said that, I will buy the book as soon as Portuguese gets corrected. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I was just about add this book to my shopping cart and thought I'd check out some reviews here. Is this bring your child to work day? Enjoy your club.

As someone who's been involved in publishing for quite a while (academic publishing), I can tell you that despite diligent efforts, little typos and the like do slip in fairly frequently. While unfortunate, it certainly doesn't diminish the value of the work.
