Title: Careless lack of proofreading
Review: My comments apply only to the quality of this Kindle edition of Belva Plain's Random Winds. This author's remarkable talent for writing has been violated by an obvious lack of proofreading by whoever put out this edition. I am 30% of the way through the novel, which I own in hardcover and read years ago, and I have found page after page of examples of missing punctuation, misspelled words (leaving a reader to guess what that word might be) and lack of capital letters where needed--just silly, annoying little mistakes that interrupt the flow of the actual work of the author.Really, it's just a shame. Perhaps it won't bother other readers, but as someone who knows this author and appreciates her work, it is annoying and the responsible parties should be embarrassed. This is not about the cost of the copy, it's about respect for someone's life work.
