I just noticed that on the publisher's website for the book I mentioned there is even a spelling mistake in the book's synopsis (creatures of the herb: it should be 'herd'.) It is hard to believe that they do this for a living. It is like visiting a company that makes elevators and finding that I have to use the stairs because their elevator doesn't work properly.
