I'm reading a book about British monuments and every single reference to the Emperor Trajan (as a comparison) has been rendered as "Trojan". The author? An idiot copy editor (except that books aren't cooy edited anymore)? It only came out last year, so it's not due to poor optical scanning. I can't help faulting the author; even if not her original error (and ouch! if it were and it's not impossible) she should have passed her eyes over the copy before it went to the printers. How are such egregious errors not caught?

ETA: I know the likeliest explanation is over-reliance on spell check. But again, someone should double-check corrections. I wonder if the mistake made it to the $30 print edition? The digital edition is $20, way too much for this level of sloppiness.
