Errata for 21 Years of The Chronicle
I recently printed a few copies of a collection of The Chronicle
s (PDF ODT). As you would expect I've noticed a few errors that had I spotted them before printing I would have fixed. I did do two proofing runs which did flag up quite a few other errors which were, of course, corrected. So, I would have fixed:
- Copyright page, Fifth Paragraph

- Space after the opening quotation mark for Randy Parkinson's quote should instead be immediately before the quotation mark.

- Sigh, had I spotted when I first created the map it would have been relatively easy to do by just reversing the greaseproof paper I used to copy the road layout - and then scribe in the road names and annotations. To fix it now will require some significant work in an image manipulation program! ↩
