Future Noir Revised & Updated Edition: The Making of Blade Runner by Paul M. Sammon
3.0
The information in this book is great. However, there is no way this edition was proofread. There are so many errors that could have easily been fixed with a careful once-over by a skilled proofreader. The inattention to detail not only makes for a sometimes confusing read, it also leaves a poor impression of the author. Spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors, in addition to continuity errors and repetitions from one page to the next, really undermine the valuable information presented in the book.
It was an incredibly frustrating read, doubly so for me because editing is my profession; reading this book felt like work. I don't know if the publisher wanted to fast-track this version to coincide with the release of Blade Runner: 2049 or what, but I really hope they take the time to properly edit any future editions. If they need a proofreader, I am available :)
