But it is a writing style. You assume it is an OCR error, because you would have put a comma.

The book is rendered in English, not German, and we do no run words together willy-nilly. Even taking the step of running the OCR output through spellcheck would have indicated such mistakes, but no one even bothered to do that.

Again, please do not assume that OCR is to blame. If it was OCR it would have run words together that don't make sense together.

What difference does it make if it's midlist? Minimum standards of quality should be met.

Budget matters. A midlist book will not get the TLC it should have. If all you are chasing dreams of the next big hit, and financially depend on it, then the poor midlist book stays forgotten. It will end up in the back of the store anyway.

The book is priced at EIGHT BUCKS. There's no way that's justifiable. No. Way.

Nobody is making you pay it.
And I totally agree with you. The price is too high for what you get. To me the price of ALL books from the Big5 are too high unless on deep discount.
