I got that book and was totally disappointed, not by the content but by the utter lack of proofreading. It looked like a very first assembly done by a public school grad new apprentice with many typos and misplaced sentences and half sentences on every page. I have difficulty reading a book with a lot of typos and this one was quite impossible. I hope I got a pre-first edition and that the real First Edition was proofread. Sowell is probably the best economist in the business but I will never know it from that book. The only reason I ever took the local newspaper was the inclusion of his column. When that was dropped I dropped my subscription.

I checked mine and I got the Third edition and didn’t notice any lack of proofreading.
