<p>I am unsure what &quot;publishing notes&quot; means, but the author is the publisher. </p><p>The publisher should have edited the book better.  He wanted to pay a friend (who edits for a top academic press) to edit but he could not even afford to pay himself. Indeed, at the very time he should have been improving the book, he translated a novel (anonymously) because its author paid him well and he was (and, still is) a pauper.  Then, when a rave review by the top person in the haiku appeared, he should have sent a hundred or so reading copies around the nation and maybe he would have had a review in a major magazine or paper.  Again, even the money to prime the pump was not there.  It might be nice to see what bookstores can do with the book, and the other paraverse books, for all are very inexpensive for their length, but he cannot afford to gamble, so they are all &quot;no return.&quot; Now that the proverbial editor no longer exists, or is so rare that one's chance of finding him or her is that of finding a flying fish in space, the time of author-publishing is here.  But, to prove it can be successful, some money is needed.  Also, please note that Paraverse Press has online Errata for typos and stylos and, occasionally actual errors, and Glosses/Marginalia.  All publishers should do this, especially the many academic presses that no longer edit the books they publish (some have scores of major mistranslations).  This is written not to boast or to put down competitors, but because, seeing the published errata, some, not knowing how common errors (not just typos) are out there, write me: <em>So when are you going to do a corrected version?</em>  I -- sorry, I must switch back to first-person -- will <em>in my good time</em>, after enough people have read each book that I can be damn sure most major errors have been spotted! </p>
