I feel the same way, Kim. The book I am reading now is full of errors, but they are word errors, and it is a PQ book.

I wish there were an excellent answer. Director of Operations Fred Slone and I just finished a 45 minute meeting in which this type problem was a topic. For the books we add the solution is having access to a Google peek or the scan. For PQ books we simply do nothing. Their errors are part of the copyrighted work As somebody once said, "We respect their right to be wrong!"

Scott, How are those of us who proof and do not have the print book supposed to distinguish between scannos and errors in the book? I would find it very tedious to do research every time I see a scanno. I am finding what seem to be OCR errors in some PQ books. For instance, many when the word should be marry, just to give an example.

Let me try again: It can be helpful to note for the proofreader that there are many errors in the original when you submit the book. Unfortunately we are not free to change what we find in the print version even if we see it is a typo.

I think I am up to 28 so far. That is a lot for a reader to deal with but what can we do? Are we allowed to make a note at the beginning that it has a zillion errors in the print version? Shall I keep going and submit it? Will it be worth it?
