Mistake or delusion?

Just like to start off by saying Hello, I'm new. (Standing awkwardly in the corner by myself)


Now that that's out of the way I was updating my books in preperation for Something Rotten and I found a mistake in my book (American Edition). I'm not even sure that this information goes here but i wasn't sure where else to put it. It says on the website that on page 255 Spike is refered to as being in SO-27 and to change it to SO-17 but in my book on that page it is all ready SO-17, however on page 272 when Thursday is explaining to Flanker that she wasn't moonlighting she was working on official buisness it says, "It was Stoker at SO-27," I just thought i should point that out.

Hello yourself, and welcome to the fforum: Here's some [virtual] chocolate cake...

I've only seen the British editions, so I can't really comment about the discrepancy that you found.

It's there in the US version, and I think it's been updated, but I'm not sure. I changed it in mine anyways.

Hello and welcome. Same as Simon, I've only seen the British editions so therefore no comment.

It must have been corrected in later editions on pages 254 and 255 but 272 got skipped. All three are incorrect in the first American edition which I have.

Probably worth an email to Jasper. He was looking for things like this a few months ago.
