I think the record for errors I've seen, that a proof-reader should have caught, was in a book published circa 1990.
One major grammatical error per page.
One minor grammatical error per paragraph.
Two typos per sentence.
This was a US$40 trade paperback published by one of the major publishing houses in New York City.
I'm almost at the point of OCRing any hardcopy book I buy, simply because both proof-reading and copy-editing are required.
At least Calibre makes it easy to correct ebooks.
