Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Yes indeed, but Tooleman asked us to exclude The Adversary Cycle. (Or "Adversary Circle" as it's printed on the "Other Books by..." page of the pb THE HAUNTED AIR )
Kenji Wrote:Which is correct?
By the way, in Japan, we call it "Nightworld Cycle", not "Adversary".
Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:It's Adversary CYCLE. Just another of the bizarre typos that seem to haunt Paul's books. I gotta say, as an old proofreader, I have never seen the like, book after book, by one author.
Kenji Wrote:Thanks, Mike.
Your job is proofreader? Or it's your interest?
Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:I used to work as a proofreader for a company called Wordflow. They dealt mainly in legal and scientific documents that had to be =very= accurate. We did it this way: I would go over the copy first. Another reader would check it. Then I would go over it again. We got pretty clean copy that way. But I was reading 8 hours a day. Pretty dry stuff too. And I found, after a couple of months, that when I got off the job, I =did not want to read for pleasure.= And I knew, "Michael, it's time to look for something else." The money was good, and I hated to give it up, but jeez... First things first. Reading's an even bigger part of my life than music, and I like music =a lot=, as I may have expressed now and then on the board. So I got a job at Barnes & Noble. That was 23 years ago, this May 21st.Admire you for that Mike.
