I did this 17 times.
I gave it to a friendly grammar nazi who found more errors and edited it again.
I had to do 5 Lightning Source proofs too...
I signed it off this morning and found two errors flagged up on that page 99 site this afternoon.
You are not alone!

Ditto. Typos are like zombies. They refuse to die. I delude myself that Xenolith is now finally pure, but I doubt it. I should offer readers a prize for finding more. We shouldn't feel so bad, though. I recently found a typo in Sol Stein's (famous editor) book on editing.
