Matthew Mousseau | 399 comments I own this edition of The Man Who Knew Kennedy and I noticed there are a few errors in the Goodreads page for this edition. The errors are as follows:

Authorship is attributed to Bourgaily, but it should be Vance Bourjaily.

No page count is listed, but it should be 292.

It is listed as having been published in "January 1, 1978 by Doubleday" but it was actually published in January 1968 by Bantam Books.

The description is "Date not stated". The description on the back of the paperback is as follows: "Here is Vance Bourjaily's stunning portrait of Dave Doremus - a man born to win - a natural leader who had energy, charm, money and women. A man who possessed the best of everything an affluent nation had to offer. What drives such a man to shady business deals, infidelities, a dope-ridden torch singer, and the ultimate crack-up?"

Thanks, Scott. But it looks like only the description has changed. The author is still incorrect, and the page count is still missing. Is there a lag or something that would delay these changes from being visible?
