I've started some really bad ones, but didn't finish them.
One self-published trilogy I did read was probably the worst example of poor spelling and grammar I've seen for sale. It's redeeming feature was the compelling story. I suspended my criticism and zipped through the 3 books. It was marginally worth it. The author has reportedly reissued it, probably with spelling and grammar corrections.
There are trade published books that I have difficulties reading because of what I consider poor or little editing. For example, some of Harry Turtledove's books appear to have been rushed through the editing process. Which is too bad, as I consider several of his works to be stellar examples of parallel world stories.
