Just noticed that I'd written the wrong title in my original post on the typos!

The book in question was "The Shadow of Heaven" by Bob Shaw, rather than "Vertigo". (I've updated my post.)

In the end I found 127 scanning errors in 166 pages; I'll pass these on to Gollancz.

Of those, 68 were errors in converting "Ile" - which wouldn't have been in the OCR dictionary. However, the other 59 were missing quotes and other errors that could turn up in a 'normal' book.

I'm going to read another Gateway title next to see if this was a one-off.
