agreed

(er)    57, 85, 312:    segments which -> segments, which [SD: long sentence]

OK as-is. A reader may need to breath in the middle of a sentence, but
that's not how commas are used in more formal writing.

(er)    57, 85, 312:    doorway and fill the -> doorway and fills the
(subject of 'fill' must be 'it'; the 'large segments' themselves
didn't fill the room with dust) [LM]

I see where this is coming from. The segments of the statue could fill
the room with dust as well as the statue as a whole could. The
sentence reads like like it's wrong when the suggested change is made.
I vote for leaving as-is.

(er)    62:     [Remove all - symbols from list]

I actually prefer it this way. Compare 151.

(er)    63, 340:        isles of Cape Kabar -> isles off Cape Kabar (cf. ref. 
93) [LM]

agreed

(er)    73, 275:        reads: KHOR-100 MILES / BISUTAN-225 MILES. To the south
it reads: KONESHI PASS TO BISUTAN-125 MILES. -> ? reads: 'KHOR-100
MILES / BISUTAN-225 MILES'. To the south it reads: 'KONESHI PASS TO
BISUTAN-125 MILES'. [LM]

I would go further:

~~~~
reads, 'Khor-100 miles / Bisutan-225 miles'. To the south it reads,
'Koneshi Pass to Bisutan-125 miles'.
~~~~

And note that those should be dashes, not hyphens. :)

(er)    74:     ‘That's him,’ shouts -> ‘That's him!’ shouts [LM]

agreed

(er)    77:     south gates -> South Gate [SO: cf. Books 9, 14, 18, 19, 23, and 
27]

OK as-is

(er)    82:     the crowd erupt -> the crowd erupts [LM]

agreed (also for 268)

(er)    98, 104, 137, 213, 262, 349:    Huntmastery you -> Huntmastery, you

agreed
