The woes for the Australian Publishing house Dumbasski Printing continued when it was discovered that the now infamous Pasta Bible cookbook was not actually pulped.
The reason for the recall of 7,000 copies was an error in the recipe for 'calfer tragicatelle with sardines, promissciutto and swastikaetti pasta' with the misprint being 'pinch of sea salt and fresh ground black people'.
This particular edition was a collection of generational recipes handed down by various people from all over the world and the specific item had been presented by a South African family who obviously used a pseudonym.
The publisher offered apologies for the proofreader, who was sacked, and guaranteed that anyone who had purchased the book with the unfortunate error would have it replaced at no charge.
The friction began when it was discovered that the same proofreader had absconded with the doomed copies and whether acting as a bitter former employee or a budding entrepreneur has listed the collectibles on e-bay.
Current bid per book is now over 500 euros.
Dumbasski has filed suit in order to restore their good name if not its poor taste.
