[QUOTE="John Cooper, post: 2536496, member: 24255"] Owen: As for the errors in this product making the items unusable or making me unsure of your intent - no, definitely not. In each case I could see exactly what was meant. That's hardly the point, though. I'm a firm believer that any printed product - even those only "printed" electronically - should be held to a professional standard. If you expect people to pay money for a product, then I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the product to look polished and professional, and not like it was whipped together and put on the market in first-draft form. Fortunately, this is one of the advantages of the PDF over the printed product - it's so much easier (and faster!) to incorporate errata. I figure as long as I'm reading through a given PDF and compiling errata anyway (I always jot notes to myself as I read; it helps me write up the actual review afterwards), I might as well pass my "unofficial errata" on to the company in question. The end result is a better product for the consumer, which after all is in everyone's best interests. (And that way I'm "giving something back" - I did, after all, receive a free copy of the PDF to review, and I often feel bad pointing out all the errors in a given product when I didn't even pay anything for it...but then I feel my first loyalty is to the customer, not the publisher.) In any case, thanks for replying to the review, and keep up the good work. You're doing fine on the "providing gems" front, now if you can just get your editors to add a few ranks to their "gem polishing" skills, you'll be all set.... [/QUOTE]
