Today, I started to read a new book, a course book for the course English for International Contacts at University of Gävle in Sweden. Noticed a bit different proofreading error already when I came to Acknowledgment, right after I read Foreword Déjà vu. Both Foreword and Acknowledgment started exactly the same, identically:
"Since the first edition of this book in 1993"...
"Since the first edition of this book in 1993"...
After this, the similarities stop. As a proofreader I know, these details, tell that it is the same writer. In this book only Foreword is signed. People has different preferences, different ways to write and express oneself, different ways to think. Proofreader, if one has been used for this book, did probably get the texts of the book separately, but did not compared them to each other. Authors did probably not write the texts of the book in chronological order, and from this they did not survey. Well, this could happen.
Book is called Riding the Waves of Culture och är skriven av Fons Trompenaars och Charles Hampden-Turner.
