Re: Nabokov Misspelled as "Nabakov" at NYTimes Book Review on line

There is a "bound to be controversial" review of Nabokov's Blues posted
today at the New York Times Book Reviews on line. There is already some tit
for tat running at the NYTimes.com forums concerning claims and
counterclaims about factual accuracy in that review BUT what is really
funny, and perhaps belying of the reviewers comments that Nabokov's Blues
has just too much "coincidence" is that the NY Times on line has misspelled
Nabokov's name as "Nabakov" both in their title of the review AND in their
title leading into the first chapter sample. Don't know how soon they will
notice this.
