Re: Rampant Misspellings

Sometimes, if you contact the publisher with complaints about the editing, they will give you a new edition of the book that (theoretically) has many of the mistakes fixed. I'd do that if I were you and it really annoys you.

Spelling mistakes in books really irk me! I know I had beautiful new editions of a lot of Georgette Heyer books, re-issued by Arrow. But once I started reading them, I noticed a lot of errors. When I contacted someone at the publisher, she was very nice about it, apologized and told me that it's hard to find people who can edit "period language," and sent me a brand new edition, free of charge.
