NatCh, did the book use American spelling or British spelling?

Last year, I read an SF novel by a UK author which was released through an American publisher, and someone had run it through a US spellchecker. However, it had a certain amount of UK idioms. It was like reading two dialects at once, which was jarring times.

On a good note, it was the first time I've seen a publisher do this in the 100+ UK novels I've read in my lifetime.
