Note to readers and publisher: suspected printing error on page 53 ( + easy fix)

I started this program about a week ago, and I LOVE it! It makes so much sense and is healthy and sane and effective. You eat a LOT of food, but all of it is super healthy (fresh produce and lean protein, mostly). EVERYTHING you need to know is laid out in detail, and it's amazingly well organized for a book of its type. I edited fitness books for years, so I know how hard it is to do a great job on these--kudos to the production team! HOWEVER: I was following the Phase 1: Workouts chart on page 53, and noticed it didn't match up with the workouts described in the chapter (days 13 and 27 refer to the Complex Metabolic Workout, which is nowhere in the Phase 1 workout descriptions). Naturally, this drove me a little crazy, but it turned out to be an easy fix (I think): the correct version of the Phase 1 Workouts chart appears on page 29, which I'll be using from now on. This will probably be caught and corrected the next time the book gets reprinted, so future readers (hopefully) won't have this problem. If it's driving you crazy, too, try using the chart on page 29 instead of the one on page 53. Even with this minor glitch, I still give the book five BIG stars!

The problem is in the illustrations of the "letters" where the mailing address is put at the top of the envelope where the return address should be.  Supposedly because of a publishing decision.  I read it to the second graders and they picked up on it.

What Nabu Press call "occasional imperfections", I would call "whole illegible paragraphs". Come on: if you are just going to scan an old book and sell copies, at least try to find a clean volume and scan it decently.

printing error: vertical line of missing letters top to bottom of pp 1 through 97 (odd numbered pages)  .... difficult to read
quality control?

When I received the book, I was happy. I am a graphic design student and I always appreciate a good quality printed book. I returned my order of this book, after having 3 - 5 or so of my pages with CMYK registry trim errors in the center of the book. Thus, for me this is a big problem. When attending College, its no secret that books are not a dime a dozen. That being said, I was not satisfied after finding this error within the books trimming. I returned the book. Lets hope, if you order one, all your pages are intact and smooth, not folded and with 1" long of extra slack on given pages like mine. It was a bit of a let down.

Shipping was prompt, and the book is in excellent condition.

Unfortunately, my printer won't print the patterns out the correct size.  The book mentions the possibility of that happening, but it wasn't mentioned on the website.  I'm having to go to a friend's house to print.  It's definitely an inconvenience.  If the buyer has up-to-date equipment, it probably won't be a problem, but my HP 922 All in One printer won't do it.

i sent amazon this note:

i'm eager to purchase the kindle edition of the lord of the rings, but apparently there are numerous formatting issues and text dropouts, as has been reported around the net. i downloaded the sample and ran into problems even with that. for instance, at location 300, there is space between N and the rest of Numenorean which causes an incorrect break. at 221-229, "...a romance between Aragorn and E (MISSING TEXT HERE) that Tolkien wrote...". you will agree that it's particularly ironic that these errors occur in forwards describing how there have been problems with the text through the years!

anyway, please let me know when the kindle edition has been corrected, so i can go ahead and purchase it. i'm really looking forward to doing so.

update - 5/28/11
a couple of weeks ago i received an email from amazon informing me that the book had been republished with
corrections. there were instructions for getting a new copy. i checked a couple of problems from the previous
edition and they were fixed!

Beware...the CreateSpace offering of Von Arnim's lovely story is a scanned version full of errors.  (It is the one with a brown cover with several old texts piled on top of each other.)  The binding is cheap and the large notebook size is not as convenient as a regular-sized paperback.  I wanted to buy this book as a gift so I ordered the one printed by Cassia Press (it is the one with a white cover with purple flowers).  The Cassia Press version is much nicer (and a little less expensive).  I looked through it quickly before wrapping it and it appears to be a good printing.

Disclaimer: I have not read this book but its previous incarnation as Portable Magic.

But if you'd like to know whether this new book is an exact reprint with new title and cover, or a new edition, then please consider the following concerning the older title, Portable Magic:

 Chapter 9: The Sixteen Significators, that contains the descriptions of the court cards, is systematically flawed, in error. Tyson interchanged the descriptions and zodiacal decans of the King and Knight cards of all the suits. So, for example, the description and zodiacal decans for the King of Wands is actually for the Knight of Wands and vice versa. I discovered this because Tyson gave the source of his information, namely, "Book T," on pp. 545 to 550 of Israel Regardie's _The Golden Dawn_, 6th ed., revised and enlarged. It's easy to see how this error occurred: The GD listing is in the order of Knight, Queen, King, and Page. Tyson must have read it as King, Queen, Knight, and Page, hence the erroneous interchange that involves only the King and Knight but not the Queen and Page.

If this error has not been corrected in this new book, then you're likely looking at a mere reprint than a new edition. Just speculating,..I somehow doubt if the error would weaken the rituals but who knows?  One who dares, I suppose.

I will not buy from this publisher again.  Any book publisher who has a standardized caveat in the front of the book saying "This book may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process...." has no quality control.  That disclaimer should be shown with their listing on the Amazon site.

Unfortunately numerous spelling mistakes, Chapter repetition, and Content repetition twice within Chapter! I have finished my 7 day reading today, bit dissatisfied being not sure what I am reading, why I am repeat reading. I checked the online PDF, It's the same, Publisher has printed the book from that PDF it seems, Upon verification, that contained the same/similar errors! Please see if there are any alternate sources available? I AM GLAD IT IS UNAVAILABLE NOW. Thanks!

Before I ordered the book, I read the sample paragraph and saw that all S's were F's in the print.  I then read the following:(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.) Upon receiving my copy I looked inside and at least in the copy I received, that statement proved to be completely false; the errors occur all the way through the book.

In response to the top rated review regarding the mistakes/missing pages of the first edition - I emailed Phaidon publishing and was greeted with a great response and professionalism. The publishing editor responded that the issues highlighted in the review have been fixed and the first edition has gone through a few reprints. Rest assured, they've made a large number of improvements since the original publication from 2011.

Hope this helps.

Author should get someone to proof this again....
Check the document for errors and publish again...
At least fix duplicate recipes

I just received my paperback copy; it's a nice printing for the price, but I preordered this and my copy had an immediately noticeable crease on the top of the back cover. It's a minor defect in the grand scheme of things, but it kinda sucks considering this is more or less hot off the press. I'd rather have a perfect copy, but I've seen worse.

They should contact Guinness on this one.  Almost every page has some type of error.  (Mislabeled IP addresses, mistyped configs, etc.)  It's amazing!  Seriously though, the content in the book is good.  However, the number of errors is bad.  If there weren't any errors, I would have given it a 5.

I like the book because it addresses the flaws in the 3.5 edition content from Wizards of the Coast. The book does a good job describing the mechanics of the 3.5 system.

My book has printing errors starting on page 95. On pages 95-188 (half the book), all the text runs off the side of the page. So, go find a PDF instead of the print copy. Bad Axe Games never replied back to email. I was hoping that they would help - I would have even paid for a corrected copy because it is a five star book.
