I’m really enjoying this book, which delves into various cultures’ different ways of raising children, but the edition I downloaded from iTunes is FULL of errors—the typo kind I catch myself making, too (‘in’ instead of ‘it’, missing prepositions, etc.). Such errors in a published book seem odd to me. If I’d turned in a paper in graduate school with so many mistakes, I’d have lost points for carelessness.
