Hi Jill, Oh, yes, it is wonderful to know that attention to detail can result in a truly uneventful reading of a book. Uneventful in that the story can flow pleasingly along without suffering stutters and stumbles because of scanning errors. I love my conscientious validators! And I hope they appreciate the care that I take with my submissions. It's a two-way street and a good team is a true treasure, in my opinion! I'm glad the book was an easy read!

I didn't find a single mistake in Miss Zukas and the Library Murders; it's nice to know that that kind of work can be produced, isn't it:?
