6. You did an *econ* textbook in 1.5 hours?! |

Making sure the page numbers in the table of contents matched with the actual page numbers, that the titles and authors were correctly spelled, that tables and graphs were properly referenced and labeled, that the paragraphs were continuous btwn. colums and pages, that there were no cut off sentences, etc.
I found 4 errors, in about 250 pages. :D
