Glad to hear the Kindle version is better.

Typos in the Tor version of _Space Cadet_ from the Sony bookstore:

inside front cover --- pricing from hard cover ($23.95, ($31.95 CAN))
``to danger-filled advenTures''
(t should not be capitalized)
``the Space Academy Young men such as Matt and Tex,''
(missing period in-between Academy and Young)

Page listing other titles:
``Requiem Space Cadet''
(missing new paragraph between Requiem and Space)

Copyright page:
``This book is printed on acid-free paper''
(yeah, right)

Contents:
6 "Reading, and 'Riting and 'Rithmetic---"
(apostrophe missing before Reading, should be curly, not stick --- this happens throughout the book)
(I think something is wrong w/ the ship name Aes Triplex)

pg. 11-12
``air stood Hay-worth Hall.''
(discretionary hyphen wrongly instantiated has hyphen)

pg. 12
``gave half to Jar?man''
(discretionary hyphen converted to question mark)

pg. 17-18
``exercise it, in quired''
(extraneous space in inquired)

pg. 22-23
``score showing in it---"yjT''
(score should be a number --- there are a number of instances of the old-style figures being mangled as letters)

&c.

William
