I think Jasper Fforde ended the Thursday Next series with this, and I'm glad. This one was better than The Well of Lost Plots but there's a limit to how far a stunt can be stretched and Fforde reached it.

A boat keels over, right? It doesn't heel over, or heal over? In the book it was "healed over" and I think one copyediting error led to another. Or I don't know much more about boating than was covered in Arthur Ransome or said of The True Love in "The Philadelphia Story."
