I have a very close relative that works distributing books and magazines to various stores. That person just got an email saying the “publishers” are recalling all books. She told me they were just stocked yesterday and is supposed to pull them ASAP.
I have no idea why as the notice was an order with no explanation besides what was mentioned.
When I did a search this Newsweek article came up.

There is an elaborate sausage-making process that goes into a book,” D’Souza tweeted on August 30. “Somehow a significant error got missed by the publisher. It is now corrected but my book ‘2000 Mules’ is pushed back to October
from the article.

Not going to go to newsweek. There will be no truth found there.

So long as D’Souza is behind the recall and not doing it under duress - I have no problem with this.

Article says the publisher is Regnery, which is known for conservative books, not woke crap. So the recall due to an error is plausible. Any sort of material error in the presentation and the Left would crucify D’Souza.

Yeah, I’ll bet by “accident” some leftist toad in the publishing process put in something that shouldn’t belong in there...

I believe it was an error.
Copyeditors and proofreaders are not supposed to be fact checkers, although we often did it anyway. It was not contractually part of our job. The facts are the author’s responsibility. It’s in the contract.
With a book that was rushed, as this one was, errors can easily happen.

just a simple error. It should read 5,000 Mules.

When errors in college textbooks are discovered after the books have been printed and ready for distribution, a one page errata sheet is included. Why could that not have been done for the first printing? The second printing can correct any errors when printed
To: Phoenix8
Yes, the preface was page numbered in upper case Roman Numerals instead of lower case. Cannot have books with such a serious error get to customers ahead of the midterms.

In this case they've modified #4 a bit, swapping stupid for "significant error", and will simply never or never meaningfully discuss it again. Obviously #5 has been used.
The Left’s Core Strategy #1: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
The Left’s Core Strategy #2: Scream accusations of racism(or racist attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda.
The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Intensely attack Republicans for actions you are undertaking.
The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Attack Republicans as stupid, but do NOT discuss it further.
The Left’s Core Strategy #5: When all else fails, censor speech and if needed deploy violence.
Repeat
