1997: David Wells: Curious and Interesting Numbers (2nd ed.):

The Dictionary
$15,877 \# - 1$


Mistake

The largest prime of the form $p \# - 1$, which is also prime for $3$, $5$, $11$, $41$, $89$, $317$, $337$, $991$, $1873$, $2053$, $2377$, $4093$, $4297$, $4583$, $6569$, $13,033$. There are no more with $p \leqslant 35,000$.


$13$ is omitted from this list.


Interestingly, under the entry for $29$, David Wells does include $13$, but omits $337$.
