Thanks for the reply! I didn't know about the master list of issues;
I'll definitely consult it to avoid redundancy in the future. And as
for "surround," if it's a British expression, I'll take your word for
it. ;) The only thing that came to my American mind was "stereo
surround," and it didn't quite seem the same!

Hi Scott
Thank you very much for your two posts. We are currently compiling a huge list of issues with the earlier books, and we hope to revisit them at some point in the near future.
Each book has a list of issues against it that can be viewed from the Editor Companion: <http://www.projectaon.org/editor/>. In addition to those lists, we also have a compilation of other problems here: <http://www.projectaon.org/en/Simon/Errata>. As you can see, it's rather big! (The reason for this list is that it's easier for multiple contributors to maintain a wiki page than to dump all the work on one individual to edit the Editor Companion pages. Hopefully we can fix this bottleneck in future.)
By and large your edits seem sound to me. The only one I would disagree on would be (??) 05sots 395: The stone surround -> The stone surrounding. It may be a chiefly British usage of the word, but 'the stone surround' would refer to all the stonework surrounding the doorway, and is a legitimate usage. Of course, ultimately it will be up to our Project Coordinator to decide what gets altered.
If you happen to see any other problems in the books, please post them, as we're definitely interested in compiling as long a list as possible before revisiting them.
For Sommerlund and the Kai!
Kind regards,
-- Simon Osborne (on behalf of Project Aon)
