What’s the worst proofreading you’ve found in a book? (lemmy.world)

I just finished reading a Star Wars Legends book, which was book 1 of the Corellian Trilogy, called “Ambush at Correlia” by Roger McBride Allen. And there was atleast 24 various typos throughout the book. From missing letters, to the wrong word, the wrong tense, wrong capitalizations, and mixed up letters.

The book is a First Edition soft cover, and I’ll leave some examples in the comments.

Not a book, but in the early versions of the movie Heat, Al Pacino's "great ass" scene also included flecks of spittle flying off his lips. They removed it on the DVD version, which was a shame as it really did make him look unhinged.
