My son did the same with World Book. He was in the Australian Army Reserve
and found a picture of some soldiers wearing the wrong uniform and the page
of insignias was incorrectly labled. He wrote to the publishers, received
a thank-you letter and edited the next edition. He was thrilled!

"Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe,
corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant,
steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in."
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
