[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 6360265, member: 9789"] I'm not disagreeing that it is difficult. But that's why you hire copy editors and pay them. That's why you spend money on a book that will sell a bunch of copies. It's also why they paid artists who were good instead of putting stick figures on every page. It's just way more professional. If they spent 50 hours and caught 99.5% of errors and could spend 10 more and get it to 99.7, then of course that is worth it. This is an extremely technical manual that will be poured over millions of times. It's worth getting it right, and even 50 extra hours isn't anything in the overall cost of the production of this book. All that is my opinion of course - just wanted to restate that. :) [/QUOTE]
