"Does Simon & Schuster not employ fact checkers for non-fiction books?" Not in this day of cut-backs. Publishers (erroneously) assume that the authors have done their homework or, in the case of autobiographies, aren't suffering from "selective memory!"

It is not just in this day of cut backs. As far as I know (and I began working in publishing in the 1980s), book publishers NEVER hired fact checkers. That was and is the author's responsibility. Periodicals was where you would find fact-checkers.
