Angry Proof Reading Aviation Text Books

Does it actually happen?
I am currently working my way through the Air Law text books - I have access to two by different authors/editors and am astounded by the number of errors and spelling mistakes I have discovered so far. These books are allegedly written/edited by professional people but either they cannot spell or use a spell-checker themselves or they are employing people to proof read who patently obviously cannot do so either or really do not care. Why do we have to put up with such shoddy workmanship? I do check my facts with my FI whenever I find something which I am unsure of but what other incorrect facts am I being presented with that I do not know about? Are the rest of the textbooks of the same poor quality?
