Yeah - I didn't attempt to proofread the Gutenberg version - after reading Wikipedia about all the controversies on screwed up revisions and failed attempts at a 'perfect' copy of Ulysses I decided it might be best not to throw my hat into that ring. I'll leave it to the academics.
Gutenberg is based off the original printing (the only variant out of copyright), not sure how accurate the proofreading of the OCR conversion is, but according to Wikipedia the original edition contains several thousand errors, yet is still considered by some to be more accurate than later editions.
