Funnily enough, I spent all of last Saturday going over it on the computer, declared it "clean" , and then uploaded it for paperback. I ordered the paper proof and read that yesterday and could not believe how many errors (thankfully) I caught.<br /><br />It's truly funny what the mind sees and the difference between that and what it THINKS it sees. How could I have missed the blatantly missing opening quotation marks? Or that comma? <br /><br />I always catch more on paper than I do by changing font or size on computer.
