Hey everyone,
Now that Music Sales, Corp has bought out my publisher, Schirmer Books, it
looks like The Joni Mitchell Companion may well go into a second printing!
Which means...they'll be able to correct the errors!
So, here's calling all eagle-eyed JMDLers to write in with your favorite (or
least favorite) typos and gaffes. Here are the big ones I already know of:
Page 169—delete photo (it’s of Rikki Lee Jones and Bonnie Raitt, not Joni
and Bonnie!)
Page 135—pic is of Tim Hardin, Stephen Stills, and Joni, not Hoyt Axton,
Stephen, & Joni (thanks, Leslie!)
Part Six, first article—all the little eighth notes should be flat signs
(sigh).
Part Five, "Birthday Suite" must be credited to Hilton Als (that one was my
error).
My name must be correctly spelled on the cover (Stacey, not Stacy).
Delete all "SFL"s (my initials) after italicized intros to articles (not
needed).
Also: There is a chance that I'll get to do an EXPANDED edition of the book
to make it more up to date and maybe better in other ways, too. So, any
thoughts/suggestions toward that end will also be much appreciated.
I'll keep you posted on developments. Steve Wilson, the marketing fellow at
Music Sales, seems highly competent and very motivated to keep Joni on the
shelves. Hurray! Perhaps finally this book will have decent marketing!!
Thanks in advance for your help,
Stacey Luftig
