The African Svelte: ingenious misspellings that make surprising sense / Daniel Menaker, 252 pgs.
A collection of unintentional mistakes, some of which make a lot of sense. As a person with poor spelling and editing skills, some of these are probably mistakes I've made or seemed just fine when I looked at them. However, there are some very funny examples here too. Lucky I'm able to "eek out a living" without having to be an editor or as "a last-stitch effort" I would be reduced to busking.
The illustrations by Roz Chast are wonderful. I only with there were more of them.
