I was just reading the back cover for the September 1992 John Vornholt Sanctuary novel and I noticed that there are two names for the planet on the cover. So which name is it? Sanctuary or Santuary? (I've got a 1st printing copy from September 1992---I know it was probably a typo, but still, which planet is the Enterprise at?)
Sanctuary or Santuary?

It's a typo, of course. Is this really worth a thread?
Honest Question asked and answered, so I think it WAS worth a thread, and has now fulfilled it's function.
Moving on...
Speaking as an amateur typesetter and printer:
It's refreshing to see that typos occasionally make it into such a high-profile location, and apparently go unnoticed for so many years.

But I have to say, it's one of my favourite novels, especially from TOS.
John Vornholt always way one of my favourite Star Trek authors. Obviously his last novels were two in the "A Time To" series. Does anyone know, why he stopped writing in 2004?

I'm reading through a series at the library, and apparently one of the prior patrons couldn't help themselves, and every single typo is marked and corrected, which is far more disruptive to me than if I were simply allowed to glide past them in the flow of reading. I'm hoping they compiled them and sent a letter to the publisher, otherwise they were just being an asshole for their own sick joy.

I didn't even deface my university textbooks.
And the only reason why I haven't destroyed my copy of a certain unspeakably bad novel (that for no apparent reason led to two sequels) that I refuse to inflict on the used book market is that I would no more deliberately destroy a book than I would deliberately take a sentient life: book burning is anathema to me.

On the Deep Space Spines blog, the writer pointed out a blurb that called a forthcoming novel Star Trek: Prime Detective...
The working title of one of my Star Trek Adventures game campaigns was "The Prime Detective," but my editor didn't go for it (the title, that is).
I find myself thinking of non-ST book that came out many years ago, a collection of five "El Borbah" stories, by cartoonist Charles Burns: Hard Boiled Defective Stories. It was billed as being all genuine hard-boiled pulp fiction, yet all somehow defective.
