I received a copy of my old teacher Graeme Goldsworthy's newish book Gospel-Centred Hermeneutics today.Imagine my surprise when on closer examination, instead of Goldie's friendly visage (as per left) on the dust-jacket, some strange middle-aged professorial-looking face stared back!!
IVP Academic have printed the WRONG PHOTO on the book!! How embarassing is that!! What a clanger!
Mind you, IVP UK have published Chris Wright's The Mission of God without putting page-numbers in the table of contents. This is a real inconvenience in such a massive tome. It is amazing to see such sloppiness from the people who reep the bulk of the profits.

My copy is published by Apollos - I haven't found any clangers yet.
The photo is correct?
There is no photo on my copy. Your copy wasn't extremely cheap was it? You know - like reject clothing?
No, it was pricey.
Mind you, IVP Academic were also responsible for Kevin Giles' book on The Trinity and Subordinationism: with page after page of faulty quotations.
Speaking of clangers ... "reep"?
That's not quite on the same level, is it?
No it is not on the same level because we are stupid chimp bloggers without an editor unlike the profossional industry of publishing, at least that is what some controversial guy said in the paper, but I can't remember due to my short memory span as a result of too much television.
Maybe IVP thought a different picture would sell more books?
um, i am hesitating about calling meself a 'stupid chimp blogger...'
C'mon Mike. If the shoe fits...
