FYI

Dear Dr. Jones,

The 3rd volume replacements have arrived here for your students.  There were 8 who had the misprinted copies, and we have their names here. Perhaps you could mention this in class.

Thank you and
Best regards,

Potential problem with some copies of the anthology

I just had the following message from the UNBSJ bookstore:

It appears that one of the books has been misprinted, Restoration & 18th century. The pages are printed upside down and out of context at page 334. I am in the process of dealing with the publisher to see how to handle this, as we do not know if all the packages are the same. I had a student return as she had gone through the books and noticed it. When I opened another package here it was the same. Is it possible that you can ask you students to check and see if they also have misprinted copies, then I can advise the publisher how many are wrong, and hopefully they will send us just that book for replacement?

So, please look at your books and let Ms. Julie Godin at the bookstore know, a.s.a.p., if there is a problem. (She is usually at the counter at the back of the store, near the English textbooks).

Good thing someone noticed; we aren’t going to use that volume until close to the end of term!
