Tor rushes these books to press as fast as reasonably possible - mostly due to fan desire. A typical book would be going through the editing process for about twice as long. Keep in mind that the book is also twice to three times longer than a typical book. So a few will slip through.

I could care less about a few typos and other errors - particularly since it means getting the book a few months earlier than we would otherwise.


My answer is no, it would be nice to have books without these small errors. And 'months'... all you get is ten guys to read the books and find spelling or grammar errors. It would take a few days at most.

If fan desire is dictating things at Tor, then this series is in a lot of trouble.

In my copy of LoC, men channel Saidar in stead of Saidin about two out of three times... Annoying. *NM* LLT - 29/11/2009 06:11:23 PM 389 Views

Not a mistake. She's used that term before. IIRC, Winter's Heart, just after they arrive in Caemlyn. *NM* Cannoli - 29/11/2009 10:17:22 PM 397 Views

Yes. The editor in me can't help but notice them. They weren't that numerous so I said nothing. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 30/11/2009 04:40:28 PM 335 Views
