Don't bother the Author...he's Busy Writing!
nad4tunes, I've been yammering about this every since I've joined the gang. See, I used to proofread for a company called WORDFLOW, and I've kept the careful eye. Like everybody here, I read a lot. And I have never seen one author's books so shot with typos as Paul's are. The new one? I read it fast, of course--gotta see what happens!--and for the first 322 pages, I thought, "Well, good! Gauntlet's proofreader is on the job this time!"
Then the typos came fast and furious.
page 323: "Kickers" is a proper noun, it is spelled with a small 'k'
page 324: "titled" instead of "tilted"
page 329: "ktana" instead of "katana"
page 340: "backs a hers" instead of "backs of hers"
page 354: "an jealous" instead of "a jealous"
And starting to re-read this morning at 5:30 AM, before I launched meself for work at 6:26 AM
page 27: "saced" instead of "sacred"
I mean, jeez, where is this gonna stop? :dontknow:
Paul!--I repeat my offer!--Let me proof the galleys!
