Yeah lots of publishers seem to do that.
I was bored so I sat reading the stuff at the beginning of LOTR (that no one ever reads) and I found that Tolkien had arguments with the editors about non existant words such as 'elvish and elven' as opposed to 'elfish and elfin' which is what the publishers first published his books with.

Re: Rampant Misspellings

I'm halfway through 'The King's Buccaneer' again and I can't believe the spelling mistakes once more! I'll list some of them again:

'Drondorian' instead of 'Krondorian'
'Galis' instead of 'Calis'
'Fulgan' instead of 'Kulgan'
'Cathis' instead of 'Gathis'

There are a few more and I'll post all the ones I'll find later on because the spellings spoil what I think is one of his greatest works

Re: Rampant Misspellings

I believe that a lot of his books have those errors are because they are First Edition. It's like that for many First Edition books. Sorry if that has already been said, didn't bother to read...
