Title: Typographical errors make this edition unusable
Review: The Verso 2009 version of this book (the "Radical Thinkers" paperback) is teeming with typographical errors. It seems like the manuscript has been prepared by use of an OCR machine reading of the older 1970/1997 edition. The machine, as is to be expected, has made various mistakes. These have largely not been corrected by Verso's editor. This is incredibly sloppy work on the publisher's behalf and makes for a very serious shortcoming of this book. Some of the errors are relatively harmless, but others create ambiguities (e.g. missing quotation marks). For this reason, I would not recommend using this edition of the book as a reference or for serious study purposes.
Is the review positive or negative?
