# Limit of the sequence $a_n=\sqrt[n+1]{(n+1)!}-\sqrt[n]{n!}$

Find the limit of the sequence $a_n=\sqrt[n+1]{(n+1)!}-\sqrt[n]{n!}.$
The limit is supposed to be $e^{-1}$ and there are a couple of posts in MSE proving it. But here is a proof I encountered showing the limit is $1.$ Please tell me what's going wrong here.

Proof: We can write $a_n=\sqrt[n]{n!}(b_n-1),$ where $b_n=\sqrt[n+1]{(n+1)!}/\sqrt[n]{n!}.$ Hence $$a_n=\frac{\sqrt[n]{n!}}{n}.\frac{b_n-1}{\ln{b_n}}.\ln{b_n^n.}$$ But $\lim \limits_{n\to \infty}\sqrt[n]{n!}/n=e^{-1},$ so $b_n\to1$ as $n\to \infty.$ On the other hand, $$\lim \limits_{n\to \infty}b_n^n=\lim \limits_{n\to \infty}\frac{(n+1)!}{n!}.\frac{1}{\sqrt[n+1]{(n+1)!}}=e.$$ Also $$\lim \limits_{n\to \infty}\frac{b_n-1}{\ln{b_n}}=\lim \limits_{n\to \infty}\frac{1}{\ln{[1+(b_n-1)]^{1/(b_n-1)}}}=\frac{1}{\ln e}=1$$

And the author goes on to say that the limit is $e^{-1}.$ But doesn't it say that the limit is $1?$ I must have overlooked something so obvious.
