Funny but take it with a with grain of salt
PENGUIN GROUP AUSTRALIA turns over $120 million a year from printing words but a one-word misprint has cost it dearly.
The publishing company was forced to pulp and reprint 7000 copies of Pasta Bible last week after a recipe called for "salt and freshly ground black people" – instead of pepper – to be added to the spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto. The exercise will cost Penguin $20,000, the head of publishing, Bob Sessions, said. At $3300 a letter, it's a pricey typo. Source: Sydney Morning Herald

I think this recipe was taken from the Idi Amin cook book.

did the maths, at $2.85 it cost them to print each book that they sell for $20 each, I'm sure they'll get over it pretty quickly
