Hi guys!
I had to go through all the book again, but I would go crazy if I didn´t find this... It´s the repeated excerpt on the SDE "Imagine" book. I saw it, I lost it, I asked help a few times to find it... Because I´m on vacation, today I decided I´d find it no matter what.
If anyone´s interested, it starts on page 51, around the middle of the second column, from "We´re all responsible for war." to "Count me out if it is for violence.". There´s one more sentence on the paragraph, then the same excerpt being again on the next paragraph, followed by a different sequence. It´s on the "I don´t wanna be a soldier" page.
Almost every book has mistakes of some kind, but this is very unusual, as the duplicate passage is immediately after the first one. It shouldn´t go unnoticed on revision, except, of course, if ot was a losen revision. The book doesn´t have a revision credit, by the way, which is not a very nice thing either. As a curiosity, the only other time that I remember noticing a similar mistake is on Gabriel García Márquez´s "Love in the time of cholera", but in this case the duplicate passage appear on very different parts of the book, which makes it more plausible.

Re: Repeated passage on "Imagine" SDE book
Mrbeatleg, I didn´t find out how to add images here, but the following sentence is repeated as well.
From "The reason they don´t dig it" until "will laways have it like that".
What bothers me the most is that it isn´t a simple repeat, from a misspasting, for example. It´s intersected with other excerpts. It shows that the original text was edited. We don´t know exactly what John said. In a book that´s supposed to be a reference, there´s a lack of accuracy. It shows that they interfered on the text.
Thanks for the highlighted passage!
