Gregg Easterbrook,

You have many good insights into Thomas Friedman's book. I am interested to know whether Friedman will address some of those issues in a "revised" paperback version? Has he done so in the past?

It might be a good pitch for a new article. Which authors have revised their books and which have allowed their mistakes to remain in the paperback book.

This has come to mind when I recently re-read Robert Kaplan's "Balkan Ghosts" which had many glaring errors in the Hardcover version that were repeated in the paperback version and have yet to be corrected after over 15 years.
