Review title: Egregious proofing
Product review: So, I have the HC of this book and am shocked by the sloppy proofing in this book right from the start. In the Preface, line 3, there is the number 2453 (instead of 1453) and I daresay this slip-up has been reproduced in the Paperback version as well. Then, grammar-wise, I caught the following right away. In the first page of the Introduction, "to the two might civilizations" must read "to the two mighty civilizations". Line 5 of Chapter 1, "of stately and solemn ceremonial," must read "of stately and solemn ceremonies,".Anyway, a book this highly rated disappointed me right at the start and makes me wonder if there are idiots who are just paid to parrot praises at the Wall Street Journal and the likes, since they seem to have missed what a casual reader like me picked up. Makes me wonder what factual inaccuracies plague the book, but that is the subject of another review once I am done reading the book!
