No insult intended, but that sort of remark reveals ignorance of how the process works.
I admit that I do not know the process. And I am not blaming you. I know how difficult it is to find your own errors. But I would have thought that it is the publishers job to ensure errors are fixed before the release.
I make plenty of mistakes myself. I am a software developer and my employer has a whole department to find my mistakes. :-)
Why I'm calling it a massive screw up is the book WAS proofed. The chapter continuity is on me. I screwed up and put back an older file that had not been proofed, at the last, and that's why that happened.
I was actually not referring to the chapter screw up. Enough have been said about that already.
As for the other typos, somehow the corrections did not make it into the file and we're looking into that.
Yes, I was referring to the typos. They seem to have increased in number in the later books. But there have never been as many as in ACI. However if the errors were found by proof readers and the corrections just never made it into the books, it is of course not the lack of proof readers that are the problem.
At last I want to point out that it really is a great book and I think you have done a great job, which is the reason I took the time to point out the errors.
