Flintlocks book, revised edition

[SDSmlf]

I fail to see how those kinds of mistakes make into print without someone catching them.
Didn’t the author get to do a final review before printing?
This subject is not rocket science.

Ok, so you have never made a grammar mistake, we get it. A pretty exclusive club. Unfortunately, most of the subject matter experts that I know are not English Writing Majors. And I am not going to make the effort or take the time to confirm, but will take your word for it that you have never made any rammer mistakes in anything you have posted or published. Personally, I have made more grammar missteps than I can count. But just because I can see how those kinds of mistakes are easily made, I must be the exception to that standard, and misunderstood?

A higher standard is required when publishing a book.
I have, and do, make grammar and other mistakes when texting or writing something down occasionally, but I would never make those mistakes in a book where a substantial investment and time are involved in even a limited run of books are involved. I would have proofread it for free, as would others. No English majors required.
No doubt Eric knows his subject very well-I have been a fan of his articles for years. I even have the first edition of his book.
I have no problem with the addition of more information in the next edition.
As Martha Stewart would say, “ It is a Good Thing “.

Greetings, all,
Finally I can report some progress on the second edition of Flintlocks - a Practical Guide for their Use and Appreciation. The first edition sold out months ago, and it has taken longer than anticipated to prepare the newly revised edition. I am proofreading everything now; in a matter of days it will be in the printer's hands, so with luck we should soon have copies available for sale. When the book is ready I will post a notice. Thanks to everyone for waiting patiently.
Shoot straight,
Eric Bye
