Guarenteed to frustrate your proofreader?
Do you mean that the proofreader will be annoyed by checking the facts or that 'guarenteed' is spelt wrong, which is isn't? Or are you volunteering to proofread it for me?
It isn't? Goodness me!
In which language? It's 'guaranteed' in English.
Is your book up to that standard of accuracy, then?
If ever a plug for a books was 'guarenteed' to deter people from buying it, then this is it. Pathetic!
I've had a look at the preview for the book & am now positive you didn't have a proofreader . . .
well, is is to me, but I wouldn't guarentee is.
possibly, how much do you pay?
Ditto. For example:
"arguements" "quiz-even" (hyphen should be en dash) "If you notice anything wrong, or you wish to comment on snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.co.uk" - sentence fragment "The Fighting Temarire" - should be "temeraire" "Susie Dent is link to which book?" - "linked"
Five mistakes on two pages. If you have a proofreader, fire him now!
