And again ... I would be just as disappointed in the recommendation of a flawlessly proofed book I hated, as I would be in a shoddily written, unproofed book I couldn't read. *shrug*

There are many people here at MR who I know share my liking of mysteries from the "What am I reading?" thread, but I don't know how tolerant those people are of errors of the type that I describe.
Of course you can be disappointed by a flawlessly-produced book; all I'm saying is that there's an extra "layer" of "reasons to be disappointed" in a self-published book which is absent from a traditionally-published one.
