proof reading problems?
583306
i haven't gotten that deep into the book yet, but i have already noticed problems with the leveling guide towards the end of the book. most of the numbers are off in telling you what to spend your CP on. check it out, it tells you to spend x amount of points to maximize your character growth, but its half assed. it hard to explain, but there are at least a couple typos in it that i have found. it doesnt sound like much, but its enough to throw somebody off. the leveling system in this game seems pretty vast, somewhat complicated even, im scared to see what other parts of the book they forgot to proof read. not very impressed so far. i do like the game though.

The book is really good for reviewing the concepts for the GRE; however, I encountered a plethora of errors in the CD ROM practice questions!  From correct answer choices not being present on the math section to word choices being in the wrong tense/case on the verbal, there were many questions that I hope not to see on the actual test!  Severe proofreading should be done on the part of the Kaplan editors.  For all stressed-practice-test-takers, relax--your correct answer choice just might not be there!

Reading kindle version on kindle fire:

As the cantos progress so do the typos. Throughout the 8th circle I've been referencing the paper back edition for corrections.

One Example:

Opening of Canto 25:
"When he had finished, the thief--to his disgracerai-
sed his hands with both fists . . ."

There seems to be about one or two of these per canto.

Please fix!

Proof reading needs to be done a little better.  Even if the book is free it still shows off poorly.

I'm enjoying this book very much, but the Kindle edition contains dozens (if not hundreds) of typographical errors that were presumably introduced during the conversion process to the Kindle's Topaz format. Most of the errors are in the form of ommitted spaces, extra spaces, superfluous hyphens, and misplaced quotation marks. It makes me wonder if there was any human supervision or proofreading involved in the creation of this Kindle edition. This adds frustration to an otherwise pleasurable read.

A good publisher obviously won't tolerate even a few typos in a published book. I don't see why the same care can't be given to ensure an error-free electronic edition. I support the right of publishers to charge whatever they want for e-books, but when a computer file costs thirteen bucks, I would at least hope that it would be a mistake-free e-book.

The book is okay, but there are some errors. Chapter 7, page 123, says that "Protein synthesis begins with the transcription process". This becomes a quiz question at the end of Chapter 7, but according to the quiz key in the book, the answer "transcription" is incorrect. Also, quiz question number 1 at the end of Chapter 7 also appears to give an incorrect answer (according to the quiz key). Also, there seem to be more inconsistencies. So I am disappointed. Otherwise, if it weren't for these errors, this could be a great book - a five star instead of a two star.

I'm not sure whether this is appropriate for a review of this book (and pf Class Collision: Fall From Grace as well), but don't editors or proof readers read these books before they are published?  Both of these books are glaringly full of errors consisting of misspelled words that nevertheless would pass a computer spell check  (e.g., "bow" instead of "bough," "Roles Royce" for  "Rolls Royce," ad infinitum.  I'm not sure whether these are errors by the author or mistakes made by the typesetter, but the overall effect is to make the writer look like a rank amateur and the publisher appear to be ab idiot.

I am only on page 30 of this book and have discovered 6 major typographical errors! Did they have proof readers? Some of the typos are easy to figure out, but some cause entirely wrong answers to be given! If you are not confident in the subject matter and your ability to figure out which answer is wrong because of a typo and which is wrong because you truly got it wrong, do not use this book-it will only confuse you!

While this book seems thorough and informative, the editor of the book clearly missed quite a few errors. Many of the mathematical equations/concepts within the book are missing one or more operator (= < > * ^ + -, etc). I bought this book as a textbook for one of my classes, and we are required to use many of these equations, and understand the concepts. It is quite frustrating when the equations are incomplete, and I must go online to determine the complete equation. Not to mention, some of the exercise questions are also missing parts of the equations. The content of the book is excellent and the concepts are presented in a manner easy to understand, but the lack of proof-reading is a glaring mistake. I do not expect such sloppy and lazy editing to be present in a graduate-level textbook. It makes this book difficult and choppy to read, as I am constantly having to stop and figure out if an equation should have a '=' or a '<' symbol in it, or if two number should be added or multiplied together.

I am halfway thru this book and would probably enjoy reading it more if there weren't so many typos and grammatical errors. It really needs a good proofing, as I hate reading a book with duplicate words, misspelled words etc. But I will finish it then maybe try to read it one more time to see if I get anything out of it. The proofreader in me is reading it now, which means I get nothing.

This book arrived with the following on the cover: ADVANCED UNCORRECTED PROOF. NOT FOR SALE!
There may be publisher's typos in this copy, and it seems that selling it is not legal. Therefore, I am skeptical
about the honesty of this seller. I do not remember seeing this included in the description when I chose to buy
this particular book.

Hi:
THe book looks good and has helped to get me going. The book will go off in directions in a haphazard way that reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Homer is trying to repair his basement by watching a video. The BIG problem with this book is that the code has errors in it that keep it from working!! This to me is a big NO NO and the reason I gave the book a low rating. Sometimes the errors can be fixed by adding an import statement here and there but othertimes it seems to be a question of coding logic. Now I have not time to debug their code so I skip it, but it would be nice to see it work...
On top of all that there is NO support for the book by the author or the publisher. This is strange considering other titles offer great suppor that usually rival software manufacturers support for their own product!

I'm having a difficult time getting past page two of this book.  Who Is writing and who is proofreading these free Kindle books?  There is a misspelled word on the very first page, and there is a run-on sentence on the second page.  Is that a big deal?  Maybe not, but it does make one wonder about the professionalism of the people involved with these projects.

It was distressing how many typos this book had, offering a valid spelling of the wrong word! Did no one proofread this book for OCR errors?

I love the story, but I found the multiple typos to be distracting. How does this happen? I'm almost afraid to start reading another ebook books just for that reason. I wonder if the typos are also in the hard copy versions.  Are there any qualified proof readers out there?

I have read only the first few pages, but have identified some incorrect use of characters, notably on page 4 which contains at least three errors. In line 4 the Chinese word l&igrave;l&aacute;i  has been written incorrectly as the similarly pronounced  . In line 5, bi&agrave;n makes no sense, and should probably be pi&agrave;n . In line 9, the character  ( de ) in  should be  (also pronounced de). Unless these errors occurred in the original, which seems unlikely, they may be the result of careless transcription of the text, as in each case the correct and incorrect characters sound identical or similar when pronounced. If so, it would be worth knowing how much of the book contains such errors. My rating is based just on my reading of the first few pages, but I resent such errors appearing in a text which would be used by many learners to improve their Chinese reading skills. This is a great pity as the first story is beautifully written. Perhaps a second edition will eliminate such errors?

Nice story
If the proof reader was paid for the job then it was wasted money, hardly a paragraph without a error.
