If one of your hobbies is reading a book, you will probably realize that reading a book without annoying mistakes is preferred. These mistakes including mistyped, grammar error, jumbled paragraph, capitalize error, mixed confusing contents, and others which make uncomfortable reading. Avoiding mistakes in reading materials, we shall need book editing. Book editing is about how to present a credible book. 

It is not only how to check some mistyped words, but also to make sure that the logic of the ideas have no hole, the grammar, spelling, sentence structure are tripping out beautifully to the readers. Book editing shall become the most important thing if we want to present a manuscript to become a published book.
Do you know that maybe somebody makes a little editing but she/he already makes a big difference? The answer is YES. Now, look at carefully of the following sentences.
  1. Seaweed puddin is only $2.50 if you buy lunch package.
  2. Miranda can hear what Donny’s.
  3. Lana went to the library to get as many info as she could.
  4. Look at carefuly on the mirror.
  5. Hannah sleeps at 12.00 p.m. last night

  1. 12:00 p.m. is incorrect. It should be noon, just as 12:00 a.m. should be midnight.
