Adam: How could this happen?? We checked the cover!! "Monfey Business" makes no sense!! jMy novel's about monkeys!! How long will it take to reprint all of these? Laura: Was that a scream? Clayton: More like a heart-rending wail of soul-crushing anguish.

That’s why, in the real world, the publisher sends the writer a “final proof” copy.

The title doesn’t matter because no one reads books about monkeys, anyway … apes are all the rage these days.

Just print up a corrected dust cover and call it done.

Promote them as the “First-Run Collector’s Edition” (implying that there will be subsequent runs)…

‘A heart rendering wail of soul crushing anguish’ ? When did Adam start playing the Bagpipes?

@nosirrom: I must take exception with your characterization of bagpipes. I thoroughly enjoy my Scottish piping music. And don’t get me started on the uses of bagpipes for rock alternative music.

I had a bagpiper walk up to a funeral I was to preach, walk past the coffin, and walk off into the distance. Very impressive.

Actually a misspelled title to the book could be a novelty. There would be future bookruns with error corrected but what fun to have Monfey Business on the book cover to own

This is one of the reasons I self-publish…

Back in the day, when you could still order vinyl records from so-called record clubs, a buddy of mine ordered a copy of Styx “Pieces of Eight” album. What got delivered to him had all the Styx cover art and labels, but the music was totally odd. He gave me the album because I thought it was hilarious. I did a little research and it turns out that one side of the vinyl platter had side 1 of an LP by a band called “Big Pig” (you can’t make this stuff up). The other side was from an album by a band called “Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark” who i guess enjoyed some commercial success in the 80s. I still have the album; no idea if it’s worth anything.
