As an education reporter, I get education-related books in the mail all the time. Publishers want us to review them, even though that never happens. (I’ve reviewed one book in five-plus years here.)

Anyway, today I got this book in the mail. It’s one of the famed “Dummies” series of books, several of which I’ve found useful in the past.

But this book, released just yesterday, is called “Overcoming Dyslexia for Dummies.”

Wrong message, perhaps?
