When coming up for the titles for the Upcoming Releases board at the store and the Upcoming Titles page on the website, we create a list of promising books and then narrow down the field to the best candidates. However, sometimes mistakes are made, and this isn't an April Fool's Day joke either. When making out the list for March, we mistakenly listed the James Patterson novel The Black Book as The Black Box instead. This probably happened because the previous title on the master list was Vicious Circle by C. J. Box and the words got transposed somehow. For almost the entire month of March, the book was incorrectly listed on the board. It was only corrected when we (and in this case I mean me) saw the actual book cover. What is worse is that the title had also been incorrectly listed on the website since it was updated last Saturday. Well, the website was also corrected as soon as possible, but not as soon as was liked. Sometimes mistakes like this do occur, usually when a book gets delayed after we check the on sale date lists to make our list. We do try to correct this type of error, but they can slip through. In fact, we have been trying to correct some other errors on the site since we changed the color pallet. We are still finding some even after a month. Well, that is all for today. Goodbye until next week.
