Errata in The Heritage Guide to the Constitution
The Heritage Guide to the Constitution is my fifth book. Like with my previous publications, I did everything in my power to eliminate typos and other errors before publication. And, like in the past, as soon as the book is sent to the printers, I discover more typos and errors. Finally, like in the past, as soon as Amazon ships the book, people start writing to me with errors.
I already compiled an errata list. We will make these changes for the second printing, and the online edition (stay tuned).
If you happen to spot an error, please email me: josh-at-joshblackman.com.

Too easy
To what degree do you find running the manuscript through Grok or ChatGPT or other AI eliminates/minimizes the errors?
Have a proofreader for each chapter !
It is a bit amazing how many errors can survive multiple editing run throughs, often including guest readers. I repeatedly read books where blatant errors are left in. Editors are angels.
Project 2025 is a Heritage joint, right?
Yeah, I’ll bet this guide has some hot takes!
Will the Humphreys Executor chapter be acknowledged as based on inaccurate originalism? It will originalists like Blackman conveniently ignore it?
