... he'd have people groaning like nothing else.

Seriously, with respect to GRRM, we'd be hearing stuff about "why isn't he working on Last Dark?" "Why is he focusing on this junk?" Blah, blah, blah...I have now finished supervising the proofreading for the e-books of "The Real Story" and "Forbidden Knowledge." "The Real Story" is pretty clean (no doubt because of the larger font). "Forbidden Knowledge" is a shambles. I've sent in the necessary corrections, some of which involve restoring large chunks of missing text. If or when Bantam will put those corrections into effect, I have no idea.
If you want to know whether you have a corrupt version of "Forbidden Knowledge," use your search function to look for the word "crybiting" (!). If that word appears in your text, you have the corrupt version.
Incidentally, preliminary reports suggest that "A Dark and Hungry God Arises," like "The Real Story," is pretty clean. The worst complaints I've heard are about "This Day All Gods Die."
