Correction Needed

The book synopsis for says: "This embarassment of literary riches is a must for all Gene Wolfe fans, and anyone who loves a good tale beautifully told."

I'm not seeing the issue?

I checked all the editions and embarrassment is spelled with two r's (which is correct) in all the synopsis and there doesn't seem to have been any edits since you posted.

Is the book supposed to be an embarrasment?

LOL Not the spelling, the content. It's "praising" the book but somehow calls it an embarrassment, that doesn't seem right at all!

If you view the paperback edition on Amazon and use the Look Inside feature to view the back cover you'll see that this is the exact blurb from the back cover of the book.

Also, embarrassment can mean an overabundance - as in the phrase "an embarrassment of [literary] riches."

I didn't look anywhere to verify, just saying, the question was clearly about the word choice, not the spelling. If it's correct, so be it. I still think it's not a good word to be there, but it's not my book! lol
