Presumably, if you pay for them, they hold some value *to you* above the perfection of the prose. The problem is, of course, all you get is the 20-or-fewer-page sample to see if it looks like the book is for you.
I prefer edited books also. I do try, when reviewing, to note whether I think the problem lies with a writer or with the editor who either failed them or should have been hired.
