Thank you for this. I have a similar process I have to adhere to as the editor of a quarterly journal: text pages have to be proofed at least twice internally and once by the association we publish for, and proof pages are read by as many as six different people and may go through a number of stages, so I might end up going through them a half-dozen times or more. Even so, almost inevitably something slips through, just because of deadlines or over-familiarity with the material or a production glitch. I think a lot of people really don't understand how much detail work goes into producing a publication of any sort, so this is a wonderful eye-opener.
