Partway through doing my AAs I started to realize that there seemed to be some things I’d sent in with my copy edits that hadn’t made it into this version of the manuscript. Once I finished going through the AAs, I checked my copy edits pages, and indeed, a good half to two thirds of my copy edits hadn’t made it into this manuscript.
