distributed proofreading
I had two sets of galleys drop on me today -- one for the upcoming trade paperback edition of Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen, and one for The Vor Game.
The GJ&RQ TPB is set from the same file as the February hardcover, which I have already proofread, but I am sure something slipped through, because something always does. If anyone noticed any typos or other errata in the hardcover edition, please report them below!
Similarly, the The Vor Game is set from the same file as my 2015 e-book update of that title. If anyone spotted any errata in that edition of the self-pubbed e book, please shout out also!
(This one:
not any of the several other iterations.)
Ta, L.

For GJ&RQ hardcover, on page 291, Oliver says, "Woah!" I would prefer he say, "Whoa!"

You are both outvoted. Not a misspelling. "Whoa!" is a command meaning "Stop!" "Woah!" is an exclamation of astonishment, rendered phonetically. The original meaning stands.

In chapter 4 of GJ&RQ, Jole's response to Haines should be "Welcome to the fishbowl, General Haines."Unless you meant he was sighing aloud at himself?

No, that was correct as written. Jole is (humorously) addressing himself, in light of what Haines just said.
(Happily no change needed, as corrections have all gone in.)
Ta and thanks, L.
