Dear %%First Name%%,

Special call to the Comma-kaze Squad: Your $5 is waiting.

I am once again calling for the assistance of our tireless volunteer proofreaders--The Comma-kaze Squad--to come to my aid in exterminating all grammatical and typographical errors from the June-July News before it goes to the printers Sunday night.

My offer of a $5 Gift Certificate to anyone who found typos in the News still stands Our thanks to our army of volunteer proofreaders and our hopes that you'll be equally motivated this time. Good hunting.

The June-July News is available right now on the website but we won't be sending it to the printer until Sunday. You can win a $5 Gift Certificate if you can find a typo or error in the News before we send it out.

Here are the rules:

These are typos or errors:

• Misspelled words
• Reviews missing the author, publisher, price or title
• Clear grammatical errors such as verb-object agreement, that/which and the like
• Titles of the reviewed book not bolded, titles of other books not italicized.
• Titles in the Also Noted section are not italicized.

These are not errors

• Sentence fragments ("A great read" is a stylistic signature of the News)
• Words or phrases that you might consider infelicitous, cliched, hackneyed and the like
• Any other "error" which the editor, in his total discretion, doesn't think is an error
• Any and all errors relating to the use of commas. I'm sorry but we received a number of these, often contradictory, and it seem that no one agrees on the correct use of commas.

How to win your $5 Gift Certificate

• Download and read the MLB News from
• Find an error (or errors)
• Send us an email before 5 pm on date. You can simply reply to this email or use our Contact Form.

Good Hunting.
