Maybe I'm not in on the joke, but done you mean the "surives" in the headline?

I was thinking "Assasins"--always remember, there are 2 asses! But I still like the look of case. Of course, haven't picked one up yet...Originally Posted by Dan
There's no joke. I see what he is referring to. You don't say "Would be shooter" - it should say "Would-be shooter"
The joke is the complaint over a missing hyphen deep in the corner of the page when there is a huge misspelling in large font right at the top front and center.
And a missing apostrophe in the headline as well.
JFK Surives Assasins Bullet > JFK Survives Assassin's Bullet
Would-be would be correct.

I may be naive, but I assumed that newspaper was a "Special Edition". If that were true, typos would be expected because of the rush to get the edition out.

Sale The Dark Tower VII S/L #964
It's good to finally be back.
I ended up ordering the signed 1st/1st of 11/22/63 from Betts. And ordering the collector case from StephenKingcollector.com.
The typo's bothered me until I read "I may be naive, but I assumed that newspaper was a "Special Edition". If that were true, typos would be expected because of the rush to get the edition out."...
While that may not be the actual reason for the typo's it makes enough sense for me to overlook them... the case really is gorgeous.

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

I can't willfully suspend my disbelief quite that much. Massive typos in the massive headlines of the most massive news story in decades? Even the drunkest newspaperman on the planet would have at least caught the ones in the headlines. Shame, because it's a great case and a good idea.

I don't see any typo there.
There's a pretty big difference between posting something on an internet forum from a cell phone and publishing something.(I always have to grin at a complaint about typos that contains typos!)
The whole title is a typo! Dewey lost the election.

It's probably a long shot but if anyone has #102 of PS Publishing's Christine and interested in selling, let me know. Thanks.
