The Harlequin Treasury titles I buy are full of OCR errors. Like one book the Hero's name was Clay and several places it read Glray.

These books retail at $4.99+ with FW coupons I usually pay $2.50 or below that. I know they are not proofread. There is missing quotes, punctuation and words that make no sense. Still I buy them up like hotcakes.

It's because modern HQ titles are just so formulated and uncreative most of the time.
