[QUOTE="MEG Hal, post: 1398819, member: 1907"] I understand both sides of this coin, and it sometimes is not a rush to print issue. We have multiple products going on and you get tunnel vision or the author does, at this point I only read what is asked of me or what I wrote but sometimes beofre layout so if it goes wonky during layout I may be focused on the pics making sure all is well and then a table or paragraph etc is missing. We saw this a bit and from our next book on [B][I]Pantheons and Pagan Faiths[/I] available March/April 2004 [/B] we are slowing down production and having proofers go through the book after it is laid out and make sure it is understandable and done properly, we hope that with our double check system our quality goes up so sales will as well so we can justify our slowing down based on customers feedback. We do listen and we do try it is hard to keep looking at the same book and finding errors. Since Doug has gotten a full time job this has let us focus more on books and less on "company" so our books should improve and come out less often but our focus on cons etc, may slow down a bit. Hopefully the end justifies the means... Hope this gives a bit of insight on MEG. :p [/QUOTE]
