The ms of the paperback version of Sights, Sounds, Words, my movie-review book, had one single mistake in it when I did a review after coming back from my walk. But when I corrected the mistake in MS Word, saved the file as a PDF, and reuploaded the PDF to Amazon, there were suddenly tons of formatting errors as text spilled over "bleed" lines. I'm in the midst of making changes, and this might take a while, so in the meantime, please do not try to buy the paperback version of my book.
The ebook version, by contrast, was corrected and reuploaded with no hitch that I could see. If you've already bought the ebook version, the updates to the manuscript will appear automatically in your ebook... unless something disastrous occurred, and we're all about to find out what that might be.
For the moment, though, I'm cross-eyed with fatigue, so I'm gonna take a nap. I've been running on less than an hour's sleep, and it's no use trying to work on manuscript formatting when you're dead tired. I think an hour or two in bed ought to solve the problem. Stay tuned.
Damn, I already ordered my hardcopy. The f'n shipping charge was more than the book. Oh, well.
