 Kirkus Reports: Cooking & Entertaining



 Online Exclusive
Reader Beware
August 15, 2008 - Eighth-grade grammar is of direct use for very few professions. Copyediting is one of them. Good copyeditors, who remember eighth-grade as well as, or better than, their first kisses, are worth their weight in platinum. And when copyediting is not done well, everybody suffers. Our reputation to the contrary, Kirkus reviewers can be a forgiving lot: We typically review from galleys and have grown accustomed to reading past typos and other errors, confident that the publication team's copyeditors will correct them in the finished books. This doesn't always happen. Consider the case of one of the best young-adult books of the year.
