(Mac Cormack notes that an interesting – if frightening – fact is that there are fewer typos in \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e than in most scholarly books published in North America.) As an alternative to the 'mined' creativity of the magazine poems, Mac Cormack also includes a number of texts from other sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coach House Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030644474096,"sku":"9781552450932","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781552450932_p0.jpg?v=1763752547","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781552450932","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
