Book Publishers - what do you do

[The_Doc_Man]

But of course, there IS an out for me. I'm writing fiction involving three or four different races and dialects. Nobody will ever KNOW if there is a syntax error or whether it is just verisimilitude and an accent.

As to the other issue, the game where I learned when NOT to bet is Bouret ("BooRay"), a trump-oriented game of 5-card hands where there are serious penalties for staying in when you shouldn't have.

I'm finding a lot more grammatical, spelling, word misuse errors in fiction than I ever used to. I'm back to reading with a red pen in my hand. I rarely buy technical books any more because I can't touch them and look through them in detail any more. Barnes and Noble is the last book store standing and they've totally stopped carrying mass-market paperbacks and carry very few technical books at all. Now, they're a glorified gift shop. I still sometimes buy the hard covers marked down to $6.99 because they're still cheaper than mass-market paperbacks which these days are up to $10.99 each but still discounted at BJ's and Walmart.
