Re: History 101 Fail
The bane of all publishers is a lack of proofreading. ALL elements need to be reviewed. Everything. Of course, the book itself requires a minimum of four editors/proofreaders. These should be knowledgeable about the contents. Some think it's primarily about spelling and grammar. Partly. Errors creep in when dates aren't checked or when names are misspelled. As a working book editor, I'm required to look over all copy related to the book. It's errors like this that affect a publisher's reputation.
