Maggie,
True. On the other hand, if you have a decent fan base, you can do as I do and run earlier drafts through critical hands before you reach that copy-editing phase. I have had very good luck getting critical feedback from reader's groups. My agent is very good, as well...you work with what you have, sometimes.
I certainly agree that books that have been through that entire publication process are nearly always better. It's like listening to a band live and realizing they sound NOTHING AT ALL like the studio, produced version of their sound.
