Oops!
Just received a shipment of Wayne Temple's new book, Lincoln's Surgeons at His Assassination. Looks great! However, one embarrassing blooper on the hard cover and book jacket spines -- the word "Surgeons" (correct on the front cover) has an added apostrophe on the spine (Surgeon's).

That is one of my big crusades in life, to teach the proper use of apostrophes. Another is to fight people ending sentences with "at." Whenever my father heard, "Where's he at or where's that at?" he would respond, "Behind the at..."

Sorry, school teacher in me. I did email the publisher of Temple's book. We might have a collectors' item if there's a reprint to remove the apostrophe!
