On Friday, August 10, 2012, Kevin
posted my review of
The
Red Scarf by Gil Brewer. Although I praised the novel as an
excellent example of the
noir fiction that came along in the 1950s and
praised the publisher,
New Pulp
Press, for resurrecting it, I also took them to task for
releasing an e-book edition riddled with various types of errors. I contacted
them about it and editor Jon Bassoff got back to me promptly, thanking me
for pointing out the problem and assuring me it would be corrected.
Today, September 8, 2012, Jon sent me
the corrected e-version of the novel. (I don't believe the paperback edition had
the same problems.) Therefore, I want to assure everyone who might be interested
in reading it--and it's definitely worth reading--that you can disregard
reader-reviewer complaints you'll find at Amazon and possibly at other sellers'
sites about the errors. The publisher's responsiveness is
commendable.
