What do they do when they want to reprint it, when someone makes a film/TV version, or there is some other reason there has been a rise in demand for it? If they are really deleting print ready files, that is a pretty short sighted decision given the relatively low cost of storage space.
But the sort of mistakes I'm thinking of would really have been caught long before it went anywhere near a printer. If they were self published it would make sense, but if something is published by a third party, even if they are just a tiny independent publisher, that means that someone other than the author has read it.
