@OnClouds I definitely think the book made a mistake, it doesn't make any sense to say “in all comers of”. The phrase doesn't mean anything.

"All corners of the globe" means "in all areas of the earth". If you can imagine the world is like a map / the world is flat, it is like you go to all four corners of the it.
Instead of globe, you can also use "earth" or "world" in this phrase
Definition: You can use the four corners of the world or the four corners of the earth to mean all the different parts of the world, especially the parts that are the furthest away from you.

It’s a typo?! No wonder I couldn’t get it on the internet. Oh it’s night now, I will check the book tomorrow to find whether I see it by mistake (⊙o⊙) thank you ~

Oh yeah it does say "comers", I didn't even realize. It looks like a typo to me, "comers" doesn't make sense.
