Like most businesses, publishers are looking at ways of saving money. Proff-redding was one of the things they dropped several years ago. Instead of paying people to do it, they print advance reader copies which the author sends out to fans. The fans then report any mistakes they notice and those get fixed. The ones that don't get noticed stay in the book.
