Note: We ask the reader to note that the title of the book is Lost Moon, not Apollo 13. And while we appreciate the publisher's effort to make this clear in the fine print, we are bewildered as to why the screenwriters get equal billing with the astronaut author and his writing partner on the book cover. Also, please note that according to Jim Lovell, when things went haywire on the Apollo 13 mission, Jack Swigert said, "Houston, we've had a problem here." We understand giving the line to Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell, and massaging the wording for enhanced quotability, but we heartily disapprove of putting the wrong quote on the cover of the book, and of visually juxtaposing it with the wrong "astronaut."
