   That still hasn't prevented them from putting out really poor work (i.e.   
   Negima up to about volume 6-7, 5 excepted).  They have gone back and   
   fixed some mistakes (i.e. the "Southern Master" fiasco) in subsequent   
   printings; here's hoping they fix more (ploughing under Trish Ledoux's   
   and Peter David's Californications).
