We both sat down with the book and some hot tea and neither of us noticed! Maybe our minds were elsewhere (like on the big bathroom reno, haha). Anyway we're so glad they're sending a new issue your way! xo, s

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:34:49 +0000 http://www.younghouselove.com/?p=19283#comment-108939 Good news! I just received an email from Harper Collins apologizing for the issue. They asked for my address (as long as you are in the US and it isn't a PO Box) so they can send me a replacement copy! I'm really surprised y'all didn't see the issues. I saw the graphics without text and wondering if it was a test to see if I could figure out what the graphic was trying to tell me. Perhaps you just browsed the book rather than reading it since it's really hard to miss the error! Good news! I just received an email from Harper Collins apologizing for the issue.

Each yellow area actually has text in it. The cow is 3500, pig is 370, goat is 230, sheep is 320 and human is 73. Go to his site and get yourself the PDF. :) I forgot – yours does have print issues as well since the graphic of the farts above is incorrect. Each yellow area actually has text in it.

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 22:56:12 +0000 http://www.younghouselove.com/?p=19283#comment-108834 Actually every US 1st edition (printed in 2009) has the problem according to the Harper Collins. So you may not have realized it but your copy should have the same issues. For example, see page 64. The author has posted a PDF of the messed up pages so if anyone else purchases the book, head to the URL in the post above and get yourself the PDF! I also read that you can order a reprint from Harper Collins. Hope it helps! Actually every US 1st edition (printed in 2009) has the problem according to the Harper Collins.

Perhaps it's just certain regions that are having the issue (or certain print runs)? Either way we hope you find a pristine copy soon! xo, s

Bummer - I'll have to find another copy to see if it has the same issue. I bought the book from a local Borders and there are indeed some pages that have the graphics but no text.
