My mentor, Steve Snider has written a behind the scenes account of the book cover he designed for Infinite Jest and it includes this tidbit.
“That spelling error was made by a young designer who prepared the mechanical, the art which includes instructions for the printer. Trivia fans may be interested to know that the young designer, Biz Stone, went on to achieve international fame, not for his typo, but as a co-founder and the patent holder of Twitter.”
