Proof that Nobody Copyedits Robert B. Parker These Days

From Bill Crider's Blog:

From Appaloosa, p. 266: "The room was quiet and noisy."

p. 238: "Bragg took a tan leather case out of his inside coat pocket. He offered a cigar to Bragg and me."

UPDATE (10:00 PM ET): Responding on Lee Goldberg's blog, Keith Snyder points out:

In one of my books, somebody's introduced, and then a sentence or two later, he's introduced with a different name. This error was introduced by the printer after all the painstaking copy editing had been completed.

"He's so big nobody copy edits him" is an easy shot to take, but we really have no way of knowing who goofed.

Point taken, Keith.
