But what can we do to bring on that happy day? I haven't seen many practical suggestions apart from reviewing particularly bad ones in a Hall of Shame thread and telling the publisher that one has done this.

I know it won't always work - I've had no response whatever from HarperCollins UK, but did get a gracious response from Clarity Press who are working on the problems I raised.
