You are correct on both counts (and I have corrected the error; thanks). However, it is the rare book -- regardless of whether it has been professionally edited never, once, or a hundred times -- that doesn't have errors in it. That's just a fact of being human.
But the book that has not been professionally edited is much more likely to have errors like seen for scene, there for their, brake for break, etc. The self-edited book often is "edited" by spell-check.
