It is an even further stretch to ask me to believe that the editors in even the tiniest publishing house are using a red ink pen, some whiteout, and a manual typewriter to edit a book before it goes to print.
Ergot, the publishers have the book in electronic format already.
Or they are so incompetent that they need to be pushed out of the market place and are therefore no loss.

I can't swear as to their competency. They have or had electronic copies of the pages. They have a stack of electronic copies after several reviews and no body really knows which ones are the latest and which ones go with what. In addition they tend to throw them away once a master is made. They may have a PDF with all the crop marks on it but that is all.
