LoTR Trilogy cleaned up?

Mrgauth · 07-19-2009, 07:10 PM

I remember when the LoTR books hit everone went gaga and started downloading away. I hesitated because I am only interested in getting the 3-in-1 set, but heard there were errors in it.

Is that true and if so, anyone hear they have cleared that up. By the way, I am interested in the Sony version.

Thanks.

Nearly all the errors have now been fixed, and there's a new revised date in the text. This is certainly true for the fictionwise Mobipocket version. I believe it's true for the other versions too.

I did get an email today that I should re-download the trilogy...

I've not been able to download it (didn't download it immediately and when I wanted to, I couldn't...), but I will try again tonight. (I made a support ticket about that and this was the resonse (finally))

That sucks

oncdoc · 09-15-2010, 09:59 PM

yeah, how hard could it be to get it right?

I understand Prof. Tolkien had the same sort of troubles when he originally wrote the books. He'd write dwarves and the publisher would correct it to dwarfs etc.

oncdoc · 09-26-2010, 07:28 PM

the problem is glaring spelling mistakes ie "connection" spelled wrong (most recent observation) I dont think Tolkien intended these obvious typos.
