Slight soiling to top edge of text block. ; The Printer’s Error is a poetry collection by Aaron Fogel that explores the interplay between human fallibility and the creative process. The title poem, written as a humorous testimonial from a veteran printer, argues that typographical mistakes—whether accidental, intentional, or even divine—are integral to the authenticity of printed works and should remain uncorrected. This perspective challenges traditional ideas of textual perfection, suggesting that errors can enhance meaning and reflect deeper truths.

His work blends humour with philosophical reflection, encouraging readers to reconsider the value of imperfection in both literature and life. The Printer’s Error was awarded the 2001 Kahn Award from Boston University, recognising its broad appeal and insightful commentary on the human condition.. Near Fine with no dust jacket .
