Glynn Stewart admits that he has not read every completed book he has written. At one point, he worked through the copy editor's corrections by jumping directly to the next change, without reading the whole manuscript again. He now reads along with the copy edit so that he has actually read the finished book. He considers the earlier practice less satisfactory in retrospect.
