Usually, though, errors are corrected and every every printing has fewer errors than the previous one.

What percentage of books get a second print run on a printing press? And what's the process for that? Do they have to reset each word for the second run? I genuinely don't know how a physical process like typesetting can result in increased accuracy on each print.

  • Any interesting book gets a second print run - except if it was on purpose a limited edition with some exceptional quirk.
