Errata
Two books in which I've found microerrors recently:
Pacific Northwest: Land of Light and Water is a book featuring some spectacular photography by Art Wolfe. (See it on Amazon.)
Pages 38-39 feature a gorgeous alpenglow spread of Mt Rainier's west side. The caption reads, "Mount Rainier at Sunrise." But such gorgeous alpenglow on Rainier's west side and Sunset Ridge is definitely the result of "Mount Rainier at Sunset."
Selected Climbs in the Cascades Volume II by Nelson and Potterfield has a photo on page 39 that has the glaciers incorrectly labelled. (See it on Amazon.)
The photo shows "South Tahoma Glacier" where it should show "Success Glacier." It also reads "Success Glacier" where it should read "Kautz Glacier."
Selected Climbs also features a stunning view of Kumquat Couloir over and behind Bill Pilling in the background of the photo on page 154.
Interesting coincidence that both involve p. 39.

Regarding page 39s:

Wow.... seems like no one can get page 39s right.
Too bad the error comes in such an expensive coffee table book. Ohh wait, the owners of those wouldn't giveadamn anyway!
I own them both; they're not that expensive.
I remember seeing that sunrise/sunset mistake and thinking the same thing: kind of a big error in a big, high production values book! But the editor probably lives in New York and has never seen MRNP.
