Proofreading and the Printer’s Devil

August 10, 2007 by Lillie 

Georganna Hancock wrote a great post on proofreading at A Writer’s Edge. She gave some excellent pointers on proofreading, but my favorite part of the post was the link to Eric Shackle’s The Printer’s Devil. Anyone who has ever edited and proofread an article dozens of times only to discover a glaring typo as soon as the piece in print or online can identify with this.
