Is it too much to ask that a guide to the details of finding a literary agent get it's own details correct?
In past years the Guide had icons by the agency to represent the agencies needs or if the agency is new. The key to these icons is in the book but they failed to apply them to the agent entries.
Also, the key points that agencies wrote for their entries were printed twice per entry. How many pages were wasted on this mistake?
Why is a book that's supposed to represent publishing industry insiders so poorly edited?

A good resource for writers who are seeking a literary agent - a very comprehensive listing of agents as well as useful articles about finding an agent and what to look for in a contract, among other things.

Every writing who is submitting or thinking of submitting their novel should have this book! It's filled with not only great agents, but their likes, dislikes, and how to find them.
