Reply to comment by CerebralBypass in Are typos supposed to be so common in books? Or am I just ending up getting poorly edited ones? by rabidpiano86

Strong disagree. I hardly ever come across typos in books! Traditional publishing almost never has typos. You might see them a lot in self published, potentially?

I commonly notice typos in books. But then it might be mostly in romance novels, which at the rate they get churned out probably have a short editing cycle. Usually the typos I see are usage of the wrong word spelled correctly, e.g. they/their (though actually that one is rare, I just can’t call to mind a specific example right now). Have definitely seen such typos in fantasy and mystery novels as well.

I must just be lucky then. I used to be a copy editor so I’d certainly notice!
