solid basics but was it proof read?

I have been working on embedded communications for about 7 years now and must say - so far so good. Much of the information is this book is good for people that have not done this before or are new in their career. There is a lot of valuable information and this would work well as a primer. Having said that the proof reading is terrible - some stuff could have been caught by a spell checker! Some examples of errors that made it into publication:
Letters missing at the end of a sentence like "TCP is an example of a stateful protoco." (which is a direct quote from the book).
A sentence ending with two periods (yes '..'!).
And a white space character being swapped with the last character of the preceeding word making both the first and second word different; for example "cars how" becomes "car show".

Whoever was responsible for that should be fired! I am surprised the publisher is not embarrassed by the quality of the proof reading.
