February 6, 2004 - Response from an email sent to Jonathan Yardley, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist and book critic:
Thanks. Since I no longer write my old Monday column I don't really have a forum to discuss matters such as this, but (a) I agree with you that sloppy proofreading is a problem and (b) I must remind you that things were much worse in the good old days. I've recently reread Jane Eyre and am reminded by the intro to the Penguin edition that early editions of Victorian novels were cesspools of errata. So were early editions of Tom Jones. Errors are unfortunate but: To er is hman. yrs, jonathan yardley
