Where was the proofreader?

If you've had the experience of reading something that contained typos and cried, "Where was the proofreader?" you'll understand my reaction when my friend Chris W. noticed that yesterday I incorrectly stated Richard Russo's Pulitizer Prize winner Empire Falls as Empire of the Falls. And Laura D. caught my error when I wrote "less but wonderful books" when I meant "less than wonderful books." My thanks to both.
