Lol oops. I always report quality problems when I come across them.
Especially when I'm trying to finish a series, and the book I'm reading,
isn't good quality.

The original version had several proper name issues: Maiden for Malden, Tarn
for Tam, and worst of all Hyena for Ilyena, among others that I can't recall
a year later. Overall, it was a very good scan. My guess is that, for Malden
and Ilyena, and maybe others, someone who didn't read the book may have been
a bit overly enthusiastic in making corrections with the spell checker.
Gotta say, though, that after I reported on it and it was replaced, I
checked it out; and while I didn't read the book again, I spot checked the
issues I reported on and they were all fixed.. I've encouraged people to
send in quality reports here on the list before because the evidence
indicates that they are taken seriously and acted on.
