[LM_NET] TAR: GEN - about bloopers in ARCs

[Katy Manck <katyroo@GMAIL.COM>]

Dear 'NETters and any publishers' reps out there -

I know that Advance Reader Copies (ARCs) say "Uncorrected Proof " but does
that mean that someone in the publishing house is fixing each typo,
misspelled word, doubled punctuation mark, etc right now?

Or do the publishers want ARC readers to e-mail them the oops places?

Since current-day books seem to have just as many uh-ohs in the finished,
on-the-shelf product as the older books that I read (from pre-computer
days), I wonder whether any correcting gets done between ARC/galley and sold
book!

Please reply off-list, and I will post a HIT.

thanks,
