Franzen's fixed 'Freedom' goes to UK stores

A corrected edition of Jonathan Franzen's novel "Freedom" is being shipped to British stores.

The publisher, HarperCollins' 4th Estate imprint, says the British edition of the highly praised novel was discovered to be an earlier draft which contained a number of typesetting errors.

4th Estate publicist Susanna Frayn said Monday that the correct, final version of Franzen's text is now being shipped.

The publisher is offering replacement copies to anyone who bought one of the faulty first copies.
