The Quaint and Curious Book “Unlikely Stories, Mostly”

Advertisements

The entertaining (and downright weird) book Unlikely Stories, Mostly by Alasdair Gray becomes entertaining — and downright weird — before the reader gets to the first story.

When it was released in 1983, an erratum slip was inserted that read, “This slip has been inserted by mistake.”

The Kindle edition of the book begins with:

ERRATUM

The Publishers apologise for the loss of the erratum slip.
