273 Question and comment on "expert" books

Inspector71, you have hit on a pet peeve of mine, whether it is Mopar books, or books in general. I am tired of seeing misinformation, typos and and grammatical errors in books, newspapers and so called professional journals. Are publishing companies too cheap to pay editors anymore? Are authors to lazy to complete their research before they send the final draft to the publishing company. :violent1:

And I won't even begin to address internet news sites (the big name ones too), who post news articles with the same glaring mistakes. :banghead:What? Don't they even use spell check and grammar check on their expensive computers with their expensive software? Again, what, no editor? :wack:

If one were to set out to write a book intended to be the authority on Mopar vehicles, I would expect he might want to go to primary sources in his research, not third, fourth, or tenth hand information. And then, he might, just might, want to get several real authorities on Mopar history and vehicles to proof read his material to assure it correctness.:violent1:

IMO, there is no excuse when the internet and other resources are so readily available.

PHEW! RANT OVER... (for now).
