Friends, you know I am publishing a book. After making the layout they sent it to me by email to check whether everything was write. I checked and signed in a form. after that they sent an original copy of the book by post. then only i noticed there was four spelling mistakes. as i was late to indicate the mistakes i have to pay 135 England pounds to correct the errors. If I mentioned them in time I would not pay this amount. All my mistake. As it is my first experience I was so exxcited. Failed to see the errors in time. Now nothing to do. 
Do anybody of you have this sort of bitter experience. Share with me and comfort me.

Firstly congrats on your book. Do let us know when it is released so I can tell everyone, I know the author.
I have made a few mistakes which I regretfully later want to kick myself but not mistakes where I lost or paid money for. Hey you are going to be a publisher so kind of learning situation so don't let it be too hard on you.
I have read many high profiled books which contained errors so know that you are not the only one. At least here you can correct it.
Best of luck with your book and hope it is a hit.

Oh! Thanks a lot for your comforting words. Really your words make my heart easy. 135 pounds is a very big amount. My daughrwe advised me to let the errors uncorrected. If so I should not pay. But I want my book perfect. Because I have somany manuscripts athome. I don't want my name be spoiled. thanks again for your comforting words.

Congratulations on your book. I am interested on what book did you write? What is it aboout?
Well, it's a lesson hardly learned. Next time around maybe you could be extra careful. :)
I envy you to have written a book. I am an aspiring writer. And ever since I have my own computer at home, I haven't really started to write anything. Well, I have blogs, and wrote all the entries there. But a book? It would be a great challenge and achievement for me....
Again Congratulations! :) Tell us what's the title and what's it all about. Glad and privileged to meet you here! :)
