Publisher Note
"There is no such thing as a book without errors." (Ernst Probst) But how do errors get into books? What are they, and what are they called? Using practical texts and entertaining illustrations, 55 typical errors are presented and ways to avoid them are shown: eye powder, lead desert, idiot apostrophe, translucence, incorrect quotation marks, fly droppings, ghost effect, bastard children, moiré, broken spine, shoemaker's boy, stair-step effect, registration inaccuracy, and many more.
Author Monika Wintjes, herself a manufacturer with many years of experience at a major German publishing house, has compiled a representative selection of errors throughout the production process in her book – from typesetting, reproduction, and paper to printing and binding. In addition to definitions, it contains valuable information on the causes of errors, illustrated with vivid and humorous details.
