I'll bet that all of you guys looked at that copy so many times that you couldn't see it anymore.  Proofing reading is hard!
When all else fails hug the dog.

We did an internal proofread before sending the script to HP.  Once sent to HP, their editorial team did additional proofreads!  At this point, I still have not read through the final published product.

I saw that date boo-boo too.  But like Dog Walker said, true date obvious from context.  When the 2nd edition of this best seller comes out, they can make the corrections.  :-)

We probably won't make the New York Times Best Seller List, but then the readers of MJ are probably the only people in Jacksonville that have ever heard of the New York Times Best Seller List!

 The what ?  :o     Just kidding.     It will hopefully prove to be a good seller for Jacksonville and clearly represents the hard work and dedication of all of you.  Worth every penny! 

Hopefully it will bring attention to the right people to help us "Reclaim" and save our historic places.

Picked up a copy at the Town Center Barnes N' Noble over the weekend.

Fantastic read.

Truly great job Ennis.

I thought the pictures would be the best part of the book, but I found myself enjoying the detailed histories even more. Jacksonville doesn't seem particularly great at recording and preserving its own history, so it's always great to see something like this come along.

There are certainly more than enough locations for a sequel as well :)

There are about a half dozen more copies at Barnes if anyone is in the area.

I will volunteer my two old eyeballs to help with proofreading if I can, when you need it.

Sorry if someone already asked but will the book be available for the iPad any time soon?

To echo the news reporter on First Coast News: "Thank you guys very much for putting together such an interesting work."

I will be ordering my copy soon!
