Guardian Book of Corrections and Clarifications Summary

Guardian Book of Corrections and Clarifications by Ian Mayes

'In our portrait of Jean Michel Jarre, p. 6, G2, July 14, we said, and remember Napoleon never made it to Moscow. Yes he did' 'On page 7 yesterday, we showed a picture of Leon Trotsky but mistakenly identified him as Tolstoy.' 'On page 19, Friday Review, March 3, the demons released by Big Yoga Muffin were actually demos' From the reviews: 'One of the best reads in any national newspaper.' Evening Standard 'The most riveting read in any national newspaper' Private Eye 'This is a book that ought to be in every journalist's Christmas stocking.' The Times 'These daily confessions of slips on the banana skins which festoon Fleet Street are saved from Pooterism by the dry wit of editor Mayes' Keith Waterhouse, Daily Mail 'If you enjoy words and their use and abuse, this book is a must.' Writing Magazine'Ian Mayes....a doyen for many of us in this field.... has put his own splendidly idiosyncratic stamp on an unlikely journalistic oeuvre.' Irish Times
