EDGEWORKS TYPOS (thanks to J.T. Neville, Ron Paquin, Frank J. Gruber Jr., Rudy Stotz, Lauri Keegan, and olen@IntNet.net) (special thanks to David Loftus and James Wilson) dust cover, rear side: At the end of the longest paragraph, middle of the page, in the phrase "and the universal opinion that he is the most contentious person now walking the earth" ... that looks like an "a" at the start of "opinion" Secondly, as the actor's name was Danny Kaye, the proper possessive in the next paragraph should be "Danny Kaye's" PREFACE p. xv, last paragraph, line 6: should be "likes what I do" rather than "likes what I so" p. xvii, first paragraph; eighth line: should be "Ellison Webderland" instead of "Ellison Webterland" ON THE EDGE the Spinrad foreword: p. xxiii, line 22 (para begins "Today, when the same..."): should be "diverse" rather than "divers" p. xxiii, fourth complete paragraph, third line: should be "subject at hand may have faded" rather than "my have faded" p. xxvi, paragraph seven, line two: there is a space in the middle of the word "sets" p. xxvii, paragraph two, line one: "at the tope of his" he uses the word tope (to drink in excess) in probable place of top; considering the structure and intended meaning of the sentence it is included in. Pg. xxvii paragraph five "comic gook scenarist" should probably read "comic book scenarist." p. XXX, para 2, line 3, "intorduction" should be "introduction". p. xxx, para. 3., line 3: "impossibility" rather than "impossiblity" p. xxx Paragraph 6: "place flight" should be "plane flight" p. xxxii Paragraph 3: "Warren Publications Creepy" should be "Warren Publications' Creepy" p. XXXiii, para 2, line 8, "and infarct" going on the definition of infarct, this should probably be "an infarct". It also makes more sense to me that way. p. XXXiii, para 2, line 11, period missing after the word "depictions". Pennies, Off a Dead Man's Eyes: p. 2, last paragraph, line 3, spacing on "eight -two" p. 4, para 4, line 2, "fiancee" should have an accent mark over the first "e". p. 12 2nd paragraph indent 3 Faces of Fear: p. 18, para 5, line 2: separate "getthat" p. 21 para. 3 Quotation mark missing before the word They (a Lewton quote) p. 25, para 2, line 1, "fiancee" without the accent mark again. p. 25, para 3, line 1: separate "worksof" para 3, line 3: "The modern terros" p. 25, para 5, line 1, "heartmeet" I am unfamiliar with this word (as is my dictionary). Should it have been "heartmeat"? p. 26, para 5, line 4: "vivsection" p. 28, para 2, line 4: "he had not studieD his lessons" p. 32, para 1, line 5: separate "noone" p. 33, first para of Part 3, line 3: should be "_Charade SUIT better" p. 36, para 3, line 1: I suspect "sharp instrument" is supposed to be plural p. 38, para 3, line 2: "tht logic demands" Blind Lightning: p. 41, third full paragraph, line 4: "that wid, blunt nose" p. 43 line 23, "...tyhat great things" should be singular p. 43, para 12, line 2, need space after comma in "religion,and". p. 46, para 7, line 3, separate "intosome". p. 50, para 2, line 3: separate "withthe" Walk the High Steel: p. 58 "him/her...his/her" spacing p. 59 line 1, spacing p. 65, para 5, line 2: This is a judgment call; "ACCOMMODATIONS" is misspelled, but since it is quoting a whorehouse sign, perhaps Harlan wanted it that way? Shadow Play: p. 73, para 7, lines 3-4: line three is broken far too early because the system obviously treated "insubstantials...observe!" as a single word. Might want to put a space on one or the other side of the ellipsis for a better line break. p. 76, para 4(?): unclear whether the line starting "He slid up the wall" is a separate paragraph -- in which case it should be indented -- or is supposed to have been the end of the preceding paragraph that currently ends with "'And it is yours, too!'" p. 78, para 6, line 2, "god" should be capitalized. p. 79, final paragraph, line 4: "imporatant" The Words in Spock's Mouth: p. 83, para 2, line 5: usual spelling is "Gandhi," I believe (note that it is spelled that way on p. 167 and p. 185 of the Edge in My Voice section!) p. 84, para 5, line 6: "englighten" p. 85, para 2, line 3: I have seen "goddammed," "goddamned," and "god damned," but never "goddamed" p. 86, para 4, line 2: don't believe "squamish" is a word, and can't guess at a meaning -- did Harlan mean "squeamish"? From a Great Height: p. 92, para 5, line 2, "vigerish" should be "vigorish". p. 95 "and/or" spacing p. 96, para 7, line 2: separate "aheartbeat" p. 98 line 24 "just wait..." close quotes Night Vigil: p. 100, para 1, line 2: "turned and and turned" p. 100, para 2, line 3: "fantatical" p. 101, para 8, line 5: "The the re-binding" p. 104, para 4, line 2: "forty-seven thousands punched cards" (I am guessing the "s" on "thousands" is unnecessary p. 106, para 7 or 8, line 2, sentence beginning "There would be none" should be indented to begin a new paragraph. Xenogenesis: p. 111, final paragraph, line 4: separate "Iwrote" p. 112, second paragraph from bottom, line 3: separate "somepart" p. 116 line 5, "to serve" p. 121 letter line 12, space after "lark" p. 125 line 13, "of" should be "or" p. 129 line 9, space after "given" p. 129 next to last para, line 3, space after "my" p. 131, para 8, line 3: a fine point, but there's at least one extra space between "I" and "haven't" p. 131, line 11 "His first works were" should "His first words were" p. 131 next to last para, line 4, "cherry" should be "cheery" p. 132 line 10, capitalize "there" p. 133, para 4, line 4: "(what does that phase mean)" should be "phrase" p. 137, paragraph in italics, line 4: "the writer nside" p. 139, para 3, line 3: "they never yell you who they are" should be "tell" p. 139 line 9, "I once" should be "once I" p. 140, para 1, line 2: "for he weekend" p. 142, para 5, line 5: separate "allmy" Rock God: p. 149, para 6, line 6: "clled forth" p. 150, para 3, line 1: "The gret horned head" p. 151, para 2, line 2: "the gret priest" p. 151, para 3: "the gret priest" (I checked my Belmont/Tower paperback copy of _Over the Edge_ to make sure that, yes, these were all supposed to be "great") p. 156, para 14-15(?): another paragraph break that may not be one; not clear whether "Stierman dropped the bookend" is the start of a new paragraph -- because it's not indented -- or a continuation of the previous one that happened to get saddled with a hard return Ernest and the Machine God p. 163, para 1, line 3: "the ocoming lane" p. 165, para 4, line 10, "thc" should be "the". p. 166, para 13, line 2: "difflculty" p. 167, para 3, line 2: capitalize "He" in "he is not a jealous God" (it's capitalized in the Belmont/Tower edition) p. 167, para 3, line 4, separate "everyonce". p. 168, para 2, first word: "Selcna" should be "Selena" p. 172, para 6, line 8: "miniscule" should be "minuscule" p. 173, para 9, line 1: "as if she hd died in her sleep" AN EDGE IN MY VOICE Acknowledgments: p. iii, para 2, line 2, extra space in "Kra snoff". Tom Snyder Foreward: p. iv, para 2, line 5: whole bunch of spaces in "nigh t" Installment 3: p. 13, para 7, line 1: I think there is a space between "extrapolated" and the comma Installment 8: p. 60, first paragraph of DiVeroli clip, line 3: looks like a space before the apostrophe in "can 't" p. 66, para 5, line 3, extra space in "Darwin 's". p. 67, first line: this is a dicey one, because White Wolf's edition follows my copy of the Donning Press edition, but I could swear "the accumulation of evidence has made the classic case for evolution more a matter of faith, no less" should be "...more a matter of faith, not less" Installment 15: p. 120, para 3, line 2: "scuttllebutt" Installment 16: p. 134, last paragraph, line 5: logic (and the Donning edition) say there should also be a hyphen after "shrug" in the phrase "shrug the-shoulders-and-accept-it" because the entire phrase modifies "way of life" Interim Memo for Installment 20: p. 152, penultimate paragraph, line 3: looks like an extra space after the italic "thought" p. 152, same paragraph, line 5: should "moth's-breat" be "moth's-breath"? p. 152, line 10, "that the terrible twinge" should be "that terrible twinge" Installment 21: p. 158, penultimate paragraph, line 5: I believe the comma which follows of "desperately sought" should come at the end of the parenthetical phrase that comes next (the Donning edition is no help here, because the entire paragraph ends with "desperately sought" Installment 32: p. 219: need period at the end of first paragraph Installment 37: p. 251, para 3(?): need period at the end of Richard Schickel quote, in the form of an ellipsis and period; in the Donning edition, this passage is a separate paragraph, the way White Wolf runs it, but since it is all sentence fragments, I think it should really be the end of the preceding paragraph -- the one that begins "And if Ms. Gutreimen thinks John Simon...." Installment 43: p. 279, penultimate line: there's an extra, unnecessary open parenthesis at the end of this line Installment 44: p. 284, para 3, line 2: need a hyphen between "go" and "to" because the entire phrase "use-a-gun-go-to-jail" is an adjectival phrase modifying "law" (this is how it is printed in the Donning edition) Installment 47: p. 295, para 2, line 6: I believe the first name of the prominent Renaissance philosopher, burned at the stake in Rome by the Inquisition in 1600, was "Giordano" Bruno, not "Giovanni"; this is not a typo, folks at White Wolf, but a gen-yew-wine error by Harlan Ellison, because it appears this way in the Donning Co. edition, too (please don't hit me, Harlan!) p. 296, para 6, line 1: could there be an extra space between the "I" and the apostrophe in "I'd"? Installment 51: p. 314, para 1, line 4: this may not be a typo at all -- Harlan may have written and intended it just this way -- but I have read and reread it a number of times and can't quite make sense of it. The basic sentence in this paragraph is: "If you ask yourself ... how long it's been since you reread ALICE ... then you can make book ... that the person you decide to decide to treasure this year hasn't gone back to Wonderland too recently either." I can't quite parse the reason for that repetition -- "the person you decide to decide" -- even though it's in the Donning too. Installment 56: p. 344, Jill Giegerich's letter, line 5, "devil may-care" should be "devil-may-care" unless it is (sic). Installment 59: p. 358, para 11, line 4, "it" should be the possessive "its". Installment 60: p. 378, the legal term _res ipsa loquitur_ ("the thing speaks for itself") is spelled with a "u" in the penultimate position, not an "o" Afterword: p. 398, para 5 (italicized), line 4, separate "thegenuine". INDEX Index to "An Edge In My Voice" (no page numbers) Batavia ... "Synchroton" should be "Synchrotron" B. Dalton Booksellers needs a space before the open parenthesis Bruno, first name is "Giordano," as noted on p. 295 "Carter,James Earl" needs space after the comma Coalition for "Beter" Television "He Knows You 're Alone" looks like it has an unnecessary space before the apostrophe The acronym following "Housing and Urban Development" should be "(HUD)", not "(HUAC)" Kennedy,John F. needs a space after the comma Leonard,John needs a space after the comma Mackenzie,Jane needs a space after the comma "Mclntosh," should be "McIntosh" National Lampoon'sAnimal House needs a space before Animal Under the Polanski heading, there's a misspelled movie title: "Rosemary's Bahy" Sarno's Caffe Dell 'Opera is spelled in the index with a space between Dell and the apostrophe, but no space on page 280; someone needs to find out which is the proper spelling "Shickel, Richard" should be "Schickel" "Shaw, Rohert" Silliphant: first name spelled "Sterling" in the index, "Stirling" on page 52; which is correct? Stewart,James needs a space after the comma Suite Transoceane entry needs an open parenthesis to precede "Jolivet)" "Uncle Wiggi)y" should be "Uncle Wiggily" Under "Westlake Village" entry: ""(CaliforniaJ" "Yours Truly,Jack" needs a space after the comma Under "YWCA": "Womcn's" OTHER NOTES Stylistic inconsistencies in some places: "nonplused" and "nonplussed", "overdramatize" and "over dramatize". Harlan's Father's date of death is off by 10 years.
