Taylor Swift fans have discovered numerous errors and quality issues in her official Eras Tour companion book, which was released exclusively at Target stores during Thanksgiving weekend. Despite selling over 814,000 copies at $39.99 each, the book has sparked criticism among fans.

Key Issues Identified:

• Multiple grammatical errors and typos (e.g., "this is me rying" instead of "this is me trying")
• Missing spaces in song titles (e.g., "goldrush")
• Blurry, low-quality photos
• Poor photo placement causing images to be obscured in the book's spine
• Reused photos from Instagram and the Eras Tour movie

Fan Reactions:

Swiftie Emily (@emermore7 on TikTok) documented these issues after purchasing the book early Friday morning. While praising some elements like the behind-the-scenes section, she expressed disappointment with the overall quality, suggesting the book appeared rushed and poorly edited.

Many fans believe the release was expedited to capitalize on holiday sales, with several suggesting they would have preferred waiting until after the Eras Tour's conclusion on December 8 for a higher-quality product.

Professional Response:

Editors and fans alike have criticized the book as appearing rushed, with one editor describing the issues as "skin-crawling." The consensus among fans is that for a $40 book from a major artist, the quality standards should have been significantly higher, particularly regarding image quality and editorial oversight.

Despite these criticisms, the book has achieved significant sales success, though fans continue to express hope for potential corrections in future editions.
