You've self-published an amazing children's picture book and find out there's an error! The book's taken years to produce. You thought it was perfect (ha,ha). It's been proof-read. All the corrections were made - or not. But a correction you thought was made wasn't, and neither you nor your other proof-readers caught it. You send the book out to reviewers, one of whom spotted your correction in the manuscript and he informs you, to your horror, that the error is still there. OMG what do you do? You walk around the house next to tears. You call all your friends who received a copy of the book and ask them to read the page. No one finds the error. They tell you to ignore it but you're a perfectionist and you can't. Besides, that wouldn't alter the fact that your precious book has an error and somehow you need to fix the situation. You don't want to dump the 2,200 books you printed and you're advised not to devalue your book by discounting it. So you pull yourself together and think of a solution, an "outside-the-box", creative solution.
