Proofreading Method for Books Before Printing 1. Point Proofreading Method [Buke Printing]

The point checking method, also known as cross checking, is a long-standing proofreading method that is performed by one person. The original manuscript is on the left, the proof is on the right, all on a flat table. When proofreading, point to the original manuscript with your left hand, silently read the manuscript for thousands of words (usually in units of words and sentences, long sentences can be read separately. Do not break words when reading), then silently read the proofreading sample, hold the pen with your right hand and move it, proofreading word by word and symbol by symbol. If any mistakes are found, correct them immediately. The characteristic of the proofreading method is that the original manuscript is fully unfolded, the field of view is wide, and even if there are many additions, deletions, and outlines in the original manuscript, it is not easy to miss proofreading. In addition, holding a pen with the right hand to read and proofread word by word is more effective in ensuring word accuracy, and it is easier to detect errors in reversing words and phrases. On the flat table of the proof, it is convenient to write and easy to maintain cleanliness.
