Just my 2 cents as a potential reader/customer :
As an author, he's jkind of right, he can expect his manuscript to go through at least one or two editing passes, which should get rid of typos. Who would provide these passes ? the publisher.
Now, he IS his own publisher, so as a publisher, he's responsible for the "marketability" and correctness of the product. So yes, he should have the book edited before selling it.
If HE is selling the book, it's HIS responsibility to sell a proof-read book.
