Proofreading Purgatory

I'm in the middle of proofreading the typeset version of The Salbine Sisters (aka the "galleys"). Contrary to what some may believe, writers aren't so enamoured with their stories that they can read them over and over again with enthusiasm. After proofreading Rymellan 1, I remember telling the book designer that if there were still errors in the text, someone else would have to tell me about them. I had no intention of ever reading those stories again (not for a long while, anyway).
