I had always wondered how people manage to publish books even if it is sub-standard in quality (of writing). I recently saw saw a book in the book shop. It was a book written by an engineering student. The story seemed to be focused on cricket. Nothing unusual, probably little boring, but what put me off was the blurb on the back cover. There were at least three obvious mistakes and I wondered how the hell did it pass through editing?
On an informal platform like blogging, I can understand people not focusing on sentence construction/grammar (I am guilty of it, completely) and spellings (to certain extent), but how on earth in a 'published' book?
Beats me.
