Why would you do this? I'm holding the book as you normally would. In order to read these maps, you have to turn the book two different ways!! #OCDisReal

Donna_sBookMinute Looks like proofers and editors skip over the maps. Which means they don't check the maps for accuracy either. If they did, the wacky orientation would have been caught. They need to care more about their readers who, for various reasons, WILL use the maps. They need to understand that a map is not merely an illustration. 7y
BethFishReads Proofreaders and editors don't skip over the maps. The designers and compositors are the ones who ultimately control page layout. @Donna_sBookMinute 7y
Donna_sBookMinute Okay thanks @BethFishReads. I stand corrected. So the pages come to them unbound? And are the designers and compositors also responsible for quality control? (edited) 7y
BethFishReads I'm not quite sure who is responsible for final layout but editors and proofreaders general work with unbound copy or computer files. Then it's out of our hands. @Donna_sBookMinute (edited) 7y
