I always wonder if I should say something Sandwich Send a noteboard - 29/11/2009 03:26:03 PM
I can't remember if I noticed any spelling or grammar mistakes. I was probably distracted by all the italics.

But I've noticed them in other books, not necessarily this series. I always wonder if I should write to the publisher to tell them. I wonder if it's a waste. First of all with zillions of people reading, somebody else has probably already done it. Secondly, I have to think somebody at the publisher/editors find these after the fact as they read the finished product and slate them for correction. And lastly, I wonder if they would even bother to correct small mistakes like that until a new printing happens or when the format changes from, say, trade paperback to mass market. Or even then. Anybody know?
