Three new books arrived today. One of them is the original orenburg shawl book "Gossamer Webs" by Galina Khmeleva and Carol R. Noble published in 1998. I knew this had corrections
so proceeded to the publishers website to print them off - www.interweave.com
While there I noticed corrections for the Twisted Knitters Sweater Book and also for the Best of Interweave Knits ( which I got in today's parcel ). Both published in the last couple of months and the latter is an omnibus of previously published patterns from Interweave Knits magaaine. Presumably the corrections for these patterns had been published previously.
Do these publishers not employ proof readers? It drives me crazy when you pay good money for a book and then find it needs corrections straight away.Anyway, I've printed off the Twisted Sisters corrections for Sue and I'm going to return her book with them tonight.
I've had some patterns published previously and I proof read them many times before emailing them to the publishers.I know any mistakes in the resulting print are not mine.
Having said this, Interweave and XRX are good at providing the corrections on their sites. It makes you wonder how many publishers just don't bother.
Rant over!
