TORONTO - Call it the case of the Sarah Palin book-alikes.
The competing covers of a pair of high-profile hardcovers about Sarah Palin are already proving difficult to distinguish.
"Going Rogue: An American Life," the long-awaited memoir from the former Republican vice-presidential nominee, arrived on bookstore shelves today.
So did "Going Rouge: Sarah Palin An American Nightmare," which features similar book-jacket graphics and a nearly identical cover photo of the controversial former Alaska governor.
An online version of a Canadian Press story about Palin's book carried the wrong cover image for about three hours early Tuesday; the cover of "Going Rouge" was also used to illustrate a piece during CBC's "The National" on Monday night.
CBC spokesman Jeff Keay says the mistake resulted in no viewer complaints and was fixed in a subsequent broadcast.
The blogosphere has been warning for weeks about the possibility of people buying the wrong book, or voting incorrectly in the many online polls asking readers to choose which they intend to buy.
