I doubt if it'll do any good. That horse has left the barn, and I've never seen anything get fixed in the subsequent paperbacks. |

Well, at this point Kynd, I think the most anyone can do is choose to either ignore it or circle it with a red marker like an English teacher does and then - just like an English teacher does - decide whether a typo merits subtracting a few points from an otherwise flawless . . . several-year-project?
BUT! There's no reason you can't expose the four critters you found here. Especially since additional sets of eyes can ascertain, confirm and know - for certain - that there are and they are, indeed typos. Before or after spoiler season - following the rules of the season. Of course. We are all curious cats-n-the-hats of life. Incurably. Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

------------- In "Call to Vengence" , at least the copy I saw in B&N, Travis Long's name was underlined in almost every instance. -- Oh Well -- Stewart |

Well I guess I will call Daud *Daoud* as I found at the beginning of the book and the observation done/dome at the end to name two. Thank you so much for being KIND. |

I thinks it's actually about half. And there are some other odd underlinings besides Travis. |

I did a complete search. While I can't find my tabulated results, IIRC, all 60 occurrences of "Travis's" was underlined. One occurrence of "O'Higgins's" was underlined; another was not. Every other word that end with "s's" was not underlined (there are 68 of those). ----------------------------
