^ can confirm the first paragraph. I'm appalled every time I find errors in my books and then I comb them expecting to find one or two, and find DOZENS. But all the readers give me mostly positive feedback and never even mention that a word was misspelled or missing. Readers enjoy the ride it seems, or maybe thier brains just repair the grammatical errors if theyre simple and not excessive.

Sadly I wasn't, but any book can have typos and any book can fix them so future copies don't. Editors are human and publishing houses have deadlines.
But the reason I backed the other comment is because it wasn't just friends and relatives I was talking about (as they don't read anything I write) but when I convince someone I barely know to read my work and am able to ask them about it they "don't recall seeing that many errors" for me to go back and try to locate them and find an amount I personally consider appalling
So people get lost in a book and either don't notice or don't care, but since someone WILL care.. gotta get those typos
