Honor of the... OOPS!

While reading through my paperback of "Honor of the Queen" again, I came across an amusing editing error.

It's the last line on page 421.

"By the authority vested in me as Her Majesty's
Ambassador to Haven ..."


:o WHAT???? :lol:

Yep. Well known typo. (But still easy enough to miss the first time or two you read it)

Did they ever fix it in later printings?

My copy is a 2003 reprint. It still says Haven.

If they reprint it again, they will. (And I suspect that they have fixed it in the leather-bound hardback edition.) They already have fixed it in the electronic editions (first edition available in the Baen Free Library) as well as the CD images available at The Fifth Imperium.

Unless they have a regression error and print from an out of date file.

I checked my leather-bound and, yes, it has "Grayson".
But, for what it's worth, my 2006 printing paperback still had "Haven" - so the fix was made sometime between those two dates.
