Errors
Several people have written to me and pointed the mistakes that are to be found in the hardback first edition of Children of the Lamp: The Akhenaten Adventure. By all means contact me if you think you've spotted a mistake. But these are the ones I already know about:
page 335: At the end of the third paragraph it reads, " ... they had changed their minds and didn't actually want to go to the actual geographical point - zero degrees latitude and longitude - that marked the North Pole.".
(The North Pole is "actually" 90 degrees North latitude. The North and South Poles are special points on the Earth, because they are singularities of our coordinate system. All directions from the North Pole can be called South, because they are directed exactly away from the North Pole. The directions of North, South, East and West lose the meaning they have elsewhere on the Earth." (so Dr. Albion Taylor says, anyway)
page 306: the last line on the page is repeated on page 307.
page 354: 2nd to last line, 1st word should be 'Your'
page 204 of Chapter 16 it reads... "This sounds like djinn business," said Groanin, wiping his hands on a tea towel..." (Obviously with only one arm, Groanin could only wash "a" hand!)
Has anyone found any more? Please click on Comment and let me know. Thanks guys.
