I’ve loved the books so far–I’m up to #15. I read on the Kindle Reader, and there I’m able to submit “content errors” (typos) I run across. The confirmation message says the edits are being sent to the publisher, but…does the current publisher ever see those, really?

It seems like most of the errors are due to bad OCR from scanning, but most of the time I can figure out what the fix should be.

Indeed, bad OCR from scanning of the old paperbacks. Some of the corrections you have submitted are what was actually printed from what I can see so they won’t be corrected as they were Barry Sadler’s/Jove publishing submissions.

The 22 Sadler Cascas were converted from paperback to kindle in a space of 1 month and you can imagine the frantic work that was done behind the scenes. It made me very ill at the time.

Oh, gotcha–that makes sense.

Well I’m not letting the typos get in the way of enjoying these!

Absolutely – its a rather unique series combining historical fiction with action/adventure told from the perspective of an immortal trapped in a curse he no longer wants.
