An army of proofreaders? How about one? How about someone actually reading the book you are about to
sell to your
customers? An error per page is not indicate of a less than 100% success rate, it suggests little more than automated OCR+spell check. Things like missing quotation marks suggest the same thing. Getting the name of a significant location in the book wrong suggests that no-one actually read it. Would you be happy buying a paperback that no-one had actually edited or proofread?

Why is there such an inconsistent attitude on this site from many people, where there attitude towards an event depends on who has done it?
If one of the Big-6 publishers had done this, would you have the same view?
If Apple did what Google does, or vice-versa, would people have the same view?
As described above, it seems like this publisher are putting out a very low quality product, and should be criticised for it.
