Great moments in literary fact-checking

From a book review of "A Year Without "Made In China": One Family's True Life Adventure in the Global Economy" about a family who tried to go a year without buying stuff from China:

Bongiorni offers this book as a lesson in globalization, though she's the one who needed the remedial education: Throughout most of her boycott she cheerfully bought products made in Hong Kong, thinking it was still British.
Whoops.
