- �1st� and “First Edition� are both in the Editions field. This is redundant and one of them needs to be removed.
- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the jacket: From Donald Ray Pollock, author of the highly acclaimed The Devil All the Time and Knockemstiff, comes a dark, gritty, electrifying � and disturbingly funny � new novel that will solidify his place among the best contemporary American authors.
It is 1917, in that sliver of borderland that divides Georgia from Alabama. Dispossessed farmer Pearl Jewett is dead, and he leaves behind his three sons to eke out a hardscrabble life of their own: Cane (the eldest, handsome, intelligent), Cob (short, heavyset, a bit slow), and Chimney (the youngest, thin, ill-tempered). The brothers set out on horseback to pillage their way to wealth and infamy, inspired by a lurid dime-store novel that only one of them can read. But the heaven they’ve imagined may be worse than the hell they sought to escape.
Several hundred miles away, in southern Ohio, a farmer by the name of Ellsworth Fiddler lives with his wife, Eula, and his son, Eddie. After Ellsworth is swindled out of his family’s entire fortune, his life is put on a surprising, unforgettable, and violent trajectory that will directly lead him to cross paths with the now-infamous Jewett boys.
In the gothic tradition of Flannery O’Connor and Cormac McCarthy, and with a healthy dose of cinematic violence reminiscent of Sam Peckinpah, Quentin Tarantino, and the Coen Brothers, the Jewetts and the Fiddlers collide and cleave together in increasingly dark and horrific ways. Filled with impure laughs and family dysfunction, The Heavenly Table places Donald Ray Pollock firmly in the company of the American masters of rural mayhem and unlikely salvation.

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the back cover:
In 1917, in the sliver of borderland between Georgia and Alabama, three brothers � Cane, Cob, and Chimney Jewett � undertake a last-ditch effort to break free of their poverty. They steal their landowner’s horses, and soon enough are shooting and looting their way north, making a name for themselves as they go.
Hundreds of miles away in southern Ohio, the good-natured Fiddler family has been swindled out of land and fortune. To make matters worse, they’re smack in the middle of the now notorious Jewett Gang’s trajectory. As the two families collide, it turns out that their only chance at survival, and maybe even salvation, lies with one another. In the great Southern Gothic tradition, with a heavy dose of cinematic violence, Donald Ray Pollock pens a bloody outlaw tale in an era that somehow seems not so distant from today.

- The publication date is incorrect. It should be July 14, 2016.
- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the back cover:
Cane, Cob, and Chimney Jewett are young Georgia sharecroppers held under the thumb of their domineering, God-struck father Pearl. When he dies unexpectedly, they set out on horseback to rob and loot their way to wealth and infamy, inspired by a lurid dime novel that only one of them can read.
But little goes as planned and soon they’re pursued by both the authorities and by stories that make them out to be the most fearsome trio of bank robbers and murderers around. The truth, though, is far more complex than the legend. And the heaven they’ve imagined may in fact be worse than the hell they sought to escape.
The Heavenly Table is gritty, electrifying and weirdly funny. It cements Donald Ray Pollock’s place among America’s best contemporary novelists.
- The format is incorrect. It should be ebook, not Kindle. (If librarians are unable to change this, let me know so I can contact staff.)
- The page count is missing. It should be 384.
- The description is formatted incorrectly. There needs to be a paragraph break between the sentence that ends with �...wealth and infamy.� and the sentence that starts with “But little goes to plan…�
