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.

I've read One Million Tomorrows by Bob Shaw - there were definitely some scannos there.
