15. "RE: The what of peace, now?"
In response to message #14
 
   I've heard from friends who work in the publishing industry that, until surprisingly recently, traditional publishers didn't bother keeping any sort of editable master copy of any of their books. They might keep printing plates in case they needed to do another print run, but if they were gonna bring out a new edition, audiobooks included, the procedure was to go back to the author for a fresh copy of the manuscript. And if the author was no longer available or didn't keep a copy, they'd have to hire someone to transcribe what they'd printed.

I think they would say that OCR errors are to be expected in audiobook scripts for books published more than about 10-15 years ago.
