I think we have to be careful in validating in correcting "obvious errors".
I submitted a book recently, Acts of Violets (Flower Shop Mysteries #5),
which was frustrating because it has "obvious errors". But those errors are in
the book and not in my scanning, and as a submitter, I'm not allowed to correct
those errors. For example there is a word misspelled in the beginning pages but
it is part of a quote from Elaine Viets, and that is her words and you can't
change a quote from a person.
On page 19 the publisher used "belived" instead of "believed". On page 28
the publisher used "shouldes" instead of shoulders. On page 68 they have
"Coffe-Mate" instead of "Coffee-Mate". On page 152 they have "flourescent"
instead of "fluorescent". Get the idea?
Not all obvious errors are true errors in scanning.
