At BooksForABuck.com, we edit all of our books, send the edited MS back to the author for review, then go through the MS again once they're back from the author. Yet, still, some typographical errors sneak through. Unfortunately, I've been seeing more and more typos and errors in books put out by the big publishers as well. Not sure if that's because there are more or because I've become hypersensitized to errors as a result of my job.
Simply put, books are like software programs...it's impossible to eliminate all bugs, but we spend a lot of time and money testing to minimize the number and severity.
