Kristalia Astari asked this question about Ross Poldark (Poldark, #1):

Trying to figure out which editions to buy. Was there ever a full matching hardcover set even published or am I just going to have to settle for epubs?

On Amazon (USA) I was looking at what is available. I read the 'one star reviews' and to my horror I start seeing reviews and comments on those reviews how there are tons of typos in the particular series I was looking at. This particular series (single books bought separately) had the current actors on the covers of their respective books: Aiden Turner on the first book: Ross Poldark, Eleanor Tomlinson on the second 'Poldark' book: 'Demelza' and so on. The comments about the typos said there were so many it was a hard copy to read. To me that is an epic fail and I would be really angry the book even went to print in such a mess. The one comment I read hypothesized the publisher was rushing to get the books to print because of how wildly successful the 2015 Poldark series 1 episodes were/are (Season 2 coming fall 2016) I think it's kind for someone to say 'there's nothing wrong with the USA versions of the books', but buyer beware. I hate errors in books I buy. Where have the proofreaders gone? So, I'm searching for a reliable publishing house / printing house? (don't know if that's really what it's called or not... but I want clean copies where I feel like somebody cared about the work they were putting out!....) Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up because, thankfully, I think the books are going to continue to be popular as more people see BBC's new season of the Poldark series each year on tv or online. I'll keep reading comments here & in the future if anyone has a suggestion on publisher to buy from I would greatly appreciate it! (less)
