There are a few corrections to be made.

The first is the description is not quite correct. It's missing part of it.

"On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane's bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.

The lieutenant's name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he'd been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.

Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.

In her long-awaited new book, Laura Hillenbrand writes with the same rich and vivid narrative voice she displayed in Seabiscuit. Telling an unforgettable story of a man's journey into extremity, Unbroken is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit."

Next, the official URL is http://laurahillenbrandbooks.com/

And finally, the page numbers should be 470.

Thanks.

Paul Dubuc (pauldubuc) | 2 comments The cover image for the book The Complete Fenelon is incorrect. It's showing a completely different book.


Ralph Gallagher | 200 comments Fixed. Barnes and Noble had the wrong cover listed on their site.

Ray (aeaea) | 2 comments The Bedford Boys audiobook isn't tied to the rest of the editions of the book.
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10831003-the-bedford-boys. Not sure why, but the audiobook listing has "D-day" instead of "D-Day" in its title.
