Hey, Tex:
I don't have any issue whatsoever with delivering the cover; as a reader, I'm not that interested in it, post-purchase. As a bookmaker, I'm with you; we embed them in their full glory for our clients.
My real point in the post was the publishing-workflow "gotcha," so s/he knows that may well be coming.
Vis-a-vis corrections/errata: I think you and I had a gab about this at some point in time, here on MR. I absolutely do NOT crack open books and fix them. I try really hard not to see the errors, as that yanks me out of my enjoyable experience. It's harder now (not to see them) than it was 'ere I started this business, but still...I give it the old college try. And mostly, I'm not that interested in the frontmatter (heresy, I know!). I know that authors are horrified to hear it, but I truly don't read the dedication, acknowledgements, etc. Epigraph? Sure. Prologue? Sure. Other stuff? Not so much. ;-) Again: speaking as a reader here, not a bookmaker.
