Packed full of errors,

This review is from: Amazing North Carolina: Fascinating Facts, Entertaining Tales, Bizarre Happenings, and Historical Oddities about the Tarheel State (Amazing America) (Paperback)
This book must have no editor at all because it's full of errors. Very annoying. These are glaring errors not in grammar or spelling but in the text it's self.
In so many places you want to stop the author and say I think you misspoke that.... because it contradicts the sentence or paragraph proceeding it! Then you have to go over it to try and figure what the author meant. I can't put a lot of faith in the information contained because of that. I am a new resident of North Carolina, and I wanted to learn about my new home state. I guess I'll have to learn somewhere else. Save your money thank goodness I only paid a few dollars for this disappointing book.
