Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

I was one of three proofers on a book. Every one of us found something that someone else missed but the only errors that got through were ones that we flagged, but didn't get changed before going to print.

Three is a good compromise over the raft of people medical texts and legal books get; you probably get to diminishing returns after that anyway (the only reason those type of works get more is the consequences of missing one can be drastic there).

That said, if you get more than one full time editor/proofer and maybe a part time on most game works, that's pretty unusual, and even that isn't routine.
