As a sometime Distributed Proofreaders volunteer, I hope you're not seeing that sort of typos, and not at those rates in the PG texts from the last 5-8 years or so, especially when the text was contributed by DP. The DP books get looked at by about 7-8 pairs of eyes, and shouldn't have that sort of gross errors.
