[stylist] who checks the details

[Watson, Katherine M]

	I read--or attempted to read a copy of the 2009 Writers Market from Bookshare, and the file was unreadable. The .brf file was full of spelling or OCR errors, and the Daisy file could not even be recognized by my Victor Reader Stream. Has that happened to anyone else? (I'm trying to find listings of book publishers and editors, so if anyone has suggestions, that would be appreciated as well.)

I downloaded a book from bookshare the other day and as I was reading, I found some glaring inconsistencies in facts in the book.  Once before I read a book that changed someone's hair color once.  Who checks those kinds of things?  Do they still read the books thoroughly before sending them to press?  I'm just curious because that looks bad for the author when someone lets things slip that you miss.
