If it's a self-published book, it's possible there was no editor for it. Because from what you've described - all those things would've been caught by one. I work in a small publishing company and we have not only an editor for each book, but before we send it to print, we have it double checked by a proofreader.

Thanks for that info. I don't know anything about how the publishing industry works. The book says Simon & Schuster on it so I guessed that would mean it should've been seen by an editor.
