| Title: | Does Editing Matter? |
| Submitter: | Michael Cahill |
| Description: | I've noticed an absence in recent book reviews on the LINGUIST List of a feature that used to be common: commentary on the accuracy of the editing in a book. This would include comments such as ''very few typos,'' ''there were some missing references,'' and the like. Does anyone else have the same impression? If true, why would this be? Are books edited that much better today, that we don't need to note this, or are the current reviewers just not paying attention to such things? And does the quality of editing really matter? |
