I hear you Spooky. Thing is, I'm not a finger-pointing kind of guy...when I screw up, I own up. I've made mistakes in the past and have been frank and honest about it with the necessary people. The primary source of blame resides in scheduling problems, I think. My boss was travelling a lot and often wasn't able to get me feedback when I needed it. The whole thing was really rushed. We found out 3 weeks before the press date that the entire book had to be translated into French and Spanish, all in the same thing, all while retaining the same format and page count. We made it look good, but going through numerous rounds of proofing with three different languages was a high hurdle in such short time.
I believe the client is getting some sort of discount, dunno how much.
