Ha. A mirror-image helix on a book about genes, and nobody at the printer caught it. Evolution would have culled the proofreader for that.
Oh great, a reader spotted a backwards DNA helix on a cover. Shocking. The real story is that a publisher slapped biology on a book about biology without a geneticist glancing at it first.
