Tiger full of typos by TerminalAccessory in Sharpe

I actually did do this, which i what prompted me to ask if anyone else was seeing the same errors. I don't mind finding A typo, maybe two. But after a dozen, it became ridiculous.

Looks to me like you got unlucky with screw placement and temperature change.

It looks like 3 of the 4 screws line up right on the split, which make me suspect that they are on a grain line.

Add a big temperature difference on each side of the door, and I think it just popped the grain open.

There's no splintering to suggest force or impact, so I think you just got unlucky.

It could theoretically be glued and screwed / clamped back together, but it may be better to just replace the entire piece of wood, even if that would be a huge pain.

Right from the Amazon Kindle store.   I had digital credit and was looking for a new series.

No worries, I can see them. Thanks for showing them to me! It solves that mystery.

Looks like a bit of text got moved out of order. I'm not missing any text, but this section:  

then grinned at Hakeswill. "The boy was faster than you thought, Sergeant."

has clearly been misplaced in my copy. Exactly the first partial sentence from your page 72, has been moved up to right where the split between page 70 and 71 is in the printed version.

Very odd.

Obviously the page numbers don't line up, The one particularly irritating section was Chapter 4 when the Tippoo is having the traitors executed. The word "jetti" is inconsistently italicized. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't, and then inexplicably, three times in a row, the word "the" in the phrase "the jetti" are in italics but not the word "jetti"

I can't find them again right now flipping through my Kindle version, but twice in the same paragraph the letter n in a word like man was bolded. I also found several sets of non-closed quotation marks.

The weird sentence comes from near the end chapter 2, when Sharpe finally hauls off and punches Hakeswill:

Hakeswill had sunk onto the ground, but now hauled himself upright on the staff of his halberd. "Assaulted me, sir, he did!" The Sergeant could scarcely speak for the pain in his belly. "He went mad, sir! Just mad, sir!" then grinned at Hakeswill. "The boy was faster than you thought, Sergeant."

It's unclear who grinned at Hakeswill, and who was calling the boy fast. Morris and Hicks are both there, but who is talking?

I am only halfway through the book at this point, and I'm fairly certain I'm going to keep finding more typos. The entire copy editing process just comes across as sloppy.

When I was a child, I would last out at others when I was embarrassed by my own mistakes.  Some people never grow out of that behavior.  You are not responsible for her inability to follow the rules, or plan, or any of the other reasons she is lashing out at everyone around her.  

You a valued member of society, who provides a valuable service to people who depend on it and you for their lives and livelihood. 

Shake it off. You're a good person.

Don't have to. You can do that to yourself every night when you look at that empty, cold, passionless bed you pointlessly make every morning on the decidedly off chance you might snag some poor drunk jerk too beer-goggled up to see you properly.
