Actually some publishers do employ proofreaders.
But they are not as good as they think they are.
And in fact, the editors they have are for shit.
I mean, Carrol and Graff must have been the worst e.g. Livingstone's books.
An then look at what SKyhorse did with Reclaiming Parkland. THey cut out all the great stuff I had on Bugliosi plus my chapter on Mexico City.
(BTW, does everyone know where that stuff is? Its really good. Its at Feral House, The Assassinations page.)
But that is how gutless these guys are in the face of celebrities with money.
THe state of publishing houses is really bad today. If I had to do it all over, I would have published my last two books myself.
