Hi Julia, I don't know if the errors will detract from the reading experience. 
I'm not sure how you read. I know that most sighted people read errors as what 
it is supposed to be. The brain trains the eye to see what is supposed to be 
there and not what is actually there. That's why proofreading is so hard for 
me, I think. Sometimes I will read a book then scan it and find all kinds of 
things I didn't see in the original reading. But Harlot Queen has a few things 
like childen for children, competely for completely and one that may not be an 
error, rebuillt with two t's instead of rebuilt. That may just be the British 
way of spelling it. And many other things of course.
