Perkins or Snell?

Maybe someone else has already noted it, but I found something that may be a severe form of mispeling vyrus in TN3. On page 176 Bradshaw murmurs "Perkins was one of the best". Since they then discuss that he hadn't said anything coherent before he died - shouldn't it be "Snell was one of the best"?

I do believe you're right, since Perkins died 7 pages earlier. Good pick-up!

Obviously very badly spelled...

That was a rather large mispeling, if it was a mispeling ... maybe they were just talking about Snell and then switched to discussing Perkins? I haven't read it in almost a week. *tear* I re-read TEA and LIAGB a few days ago though, so it's time to read WOLP again. Yes.

Ahem.

From the upgrades page:

"xi: Go to page 176 and where it says "Perkins was one of the best" replace with "Snell was one of the best". Bradshaw, probably distracted by Melanie's Bookworld award worries, made an error. Quite unlike him. But not unlike me."

Do keep up, darlings!

argh!
I still haven't read the upgrade!

Hmpf you wouldn't expect to have an upgrade the second you finish reading, right?
Seems just like a computer or electronic device, the moment you get the latest version home, it's already outdated *roll eyes*
