I Am On The Rampage: Destiny Image Why Do You Not Proof Read Before A Book Goes To Print & Then Is Sold? I Tend To Find Blunders In Books You Publish, Why Is That?

I just finished reading a ministry book published by Destiny Image. As I was reading I was enjoying reading a book finally published by them with no typos/blunders so far until ... the very end. Two blunders literally within the last 5 phrases. How can this be? It totally baffles me. This book is filled with very important information and at the very end they mess up. What's worse is there are 11 people of influence at the beginning of the book that are endorsing the book and that portion is great. My concern is they are either colleagues, acquaintances or even friends and how many of them actually read all the way through this book? I would like to think that if I were given a book to read/review I would actually read it all the way through. Now, I am not judging them for they may have read the entire book. Why did they not catch the 2 blunders and then go to the author in love and share with them before the book went into print that is my question I propose. That was 11 sets of eyes that read the book. I am one set of eyes and I caught it. I was not looking for it, it just seemed to magnify itself while I was reading.

I have read several ministry books and found that this particular publishing company tends to have typos etc. in the books I read published by them. Why do authors put so much trust in them? They should be looking with a scrutinizing eye at the work submitted to make sure it is in print the way it was intended to be printed. It is sad that one cannot put their trust in the publishing company to have their back so to speak. You know these are pretty well known authors that are probably bringing in a nice amount of income to the publisher so the publisher should be responsible enough to produce quality work.

For whatever reason this time it struck a note in my heart to actually contact the publishing company and I did just that. I informed them of the page and the 2 blunders and how I tend to find more typos/blunders by books published by Destiny Image more so then publishers like Whitaker House & Chosen. The woman I spoke with on the phone was kind and gracious and did say she would pass on the information to the Production Manager. There was a portion of the conversation where I had to suggest to the representative to give the actual page number in the book and the 2 actual blunders and hopefully she wrote down the information.

I am a student at heart and I enjoy reading ministry type of books and gleaning from them. I would freely review or read a manuscript if one was handed to me so as to bless the author with a fresh set of eyes in reading/reviewing. No other/hidden intentions behind it other to bless a great author, teacher so their work could come forth with excellence and bring great glory to God. I glean from a particular author and had to take time out to look up the definition of a word I was not familiar with, sagacity. See, I like to learn.
