It's not just illegal ones.
I think publishers may have lost the manuscript or don't have an electronic copy for some of their catalog titles. I've bought several catalog releases that had a number of OCR errors. Often, these were correctly spelled words that were out of context in the sentence/paragraph. If I have a copy of the print book, I'd sometimes check if I couldn't figure out the sentence correctly from the context.
