What do you do when you are reading a book and see a typo / misspelling that the editors missed?
I was just reading the new Jonathan Kellerman book entitle Motive. (2015, Ballantine Books)
On page 252, the word printed is “deserts”. (Twice!) But the context is clearly culinary, and the word have been “desserts”.
I think that the publisher’s spellchecker didn’t pick up the context misspelling (since deserts is a word) and the book was published with a mistake in it.
Would you email the author? The publisher? Is it worth the effort to have them fix it in future editions?
