Crecy Do 17 Corrections

[Sergio Luis dos Santos]

It´s a pity that few publishers think in creating a section for dowloadable files with corrections for their books... I remember well when I discovered some key mistakes as soon as my book was printed and to my horror I could not send them to the buyers. Unfortunately the publisher never did that to me so I could only sent the corrections to the ones I sold directly or give it as a gift... Maybe Crecy could think about this.

I fear the publishers would not be interested and put the onus on the author

There's nothing to stop an author or group of authors buying some web space and making corrections available online if publishers won't. Some web companies provide templates for sites that users can customise.

Actually, the commitment for a publisher could be minimal given that they already have websites. They need only require that authors submit all errata as a pdf file and that they would only accept (say) two such submissions per year.

Years ago, a correction was made available for the four volume book series on the Me 262 by Classic. I printed it out and dropped it into the book on the relevant page.
