Thanks for that. I went through my copy and corrected it.

This error is big enough that it is on the book's Wikipedia page.

The text of the serialization and the published book are slightly different. A copy-editing error garbled a conversation between Jack and Morningstar in chapter 6; the correct version appeared in the original magazine appearance and has been reprinted on pages 511–512 of The Collected Stories of Roger Zelazny, Volume 3: This Mortal Mountain, NESFA Press, 2009.
I'm surprised the publisher didn't fix it.

BTW: Jack of Shadows has a great old 1970's cover.
