There are a lot of errors in the typed copy. There is even a case where some of the paragraphs are out of order. Now I know some of the combined paragraphs are due to the shoddy way the PDF was created. It's so shoddy that the first few (or so) paragraphs come out as one in the conversion and that's using Adobe Acrobat 8 to convert. Lots of obvious little typos. Some missed italics, and ... that should have been .... and punctuation errors as well. While it's not perfect, it's a lot better then what I have read about how bad HP6 was when the first scanned/ORCed copy came out. It was a nightmare supposedly.
