More Headline Blindness!

I been cruising through Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp books. This he-man terrorist-hater is rough and tough, like John Wayne Toilet Paper.

Alas, I came across some primo goofos in the 2007 novel Act of Treason.

Above is the very first freakin’ page! The second word should, of course, be “motorcade.”

Above is page 65, in which someone is “olding” court instead of holding court. Maybe only geriatric types were invited?

Above is page 79, which misspells “retsina” as “restina.”

In my opinion, the mistake’s location is part of its getting past the proofreaders. Sometimes the bigger the font, the easier it is to miss a misspelling. See here for earlier examples of Headline Blindness. Talk to you on Thursday!
