Hi everyone,

I recently purchased Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal" at WHSmith. I was really surprised at the very low quality of the file. I'm not talking a few mistakes here and there, I'm talking of at least one mispelling or quote mark missing every other page. Some of the mispellings were so big as to make the sentence almost unreadable, so I assume no one has proof read it. Worst, the hero's name, "Lipwig", comes out as two words ("Lip wig") half the time.

I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem with other Pratchett's books, as I was looking forward purchasing more?

Cheers,

Alfy.
