Customer Reviews

Great book. Too bad about all the typos.

I bought the Merchant Books version and have been annoyed by the number of typos on nearly every page. I think it was drafted during the days of spell check, or perhaps autocorrect because it’s always a completely wrong word, like caring for a “sow” rather than “soul.” The text without the typos is a necessary read for anyone from parents to priests, to princes who wish to lead others to Christ and live a Christian life. I suspect that Machiavelli used it as a template in writing The Prince in the same way Muhammad used the Old Testament Law flipping it to be used for personal power and gain. A study on this would be very interesting.
