I recently read all of Philip K Dick's novels. Spotted typos in every book. I log typos in my goodreads reviews

In the past it wasn't even the author's fault necessarily. The worst case of this was an anthology of Ursula Leguin, "Five Complete Novels" where I quit recording the typos as there would be multiple per page

If the typos are in a legitimate eBook copy, it's because sometimes the people who make the eBook don't have the source file(s), and instead have to OCR a printed book.

If the typos are in the printed book, that's bad.
