Re: “Didn't have an editor to catch such things, eh? ”
It wasn't just the editor. Clearly, nobody in the process noticed ... or cared. This, by the way, is the reason why books often have a "Proof edition." Gross errors on something so prominent can be embarrassing.

BTW, my copy of the book is from 1964. Different cover. No mistake.
