I fixed that and printed another 50. I was reading along and I have "author" twice in the same sentence. It is enough to drive me to the brink. I fixed that for the next printing. I don't see my errors. I need a good editor. Dad doesn't see my errors either, until they are in print, then he notices. UGH! Oh well, I suppose it is alright to look like an idiot. If the shoe fits. . . I've spent my life learning English and when I die, we will speak Adamic. (Apparently, I have not learned to be a proofreader.)
