Someone just posted about his book.. I found an error on the first page, and will not buy...
I'm studying Professional Editing and Proofreading (mostly to improve my English language skills) and I get so peed off, when I see such bad mistakes...
One that really got me, was about a kid, who was 6 years old and 4 years old in the same 5 line paragraph! Unbelievable...
I agree that authors are very protective of their work (it's perfect, they have run a spellchecker and grammar checker).. I think it must come down to their insecurity.. why else wouldn't they take advantage of a free proofread?
