There are interesting spelling mistakes in the book. Seems like I was lent the original edition from 2017. “A hostel guest or visitor” is perhaps the most irking oops I’ve ever seen in a single word in print. Obviously I’m complaining about spelling because there’s nothing else to whine about. This book is a compelling read even for such a boring, daunting topic.
