Proofreader at Table Seven, Please

Dear Pro Author:

I was thinking about buying your book today, so I read the first few pages on Amazon. I regret to inform you that the ocean does not actually "team" with fish. Perhaps one day I will purchase your book, but it will not be today.

Sincerely yours,

A Cranky Reader

I can't speak to the UK editions, but this is why the US versions of Terry Pratchett books often make me want to bang my head against a wall. You're a big publishing house! I'm not even a pro proofreader! I shouldn't be spotting this many typos!
