AtD (spoilers) Tautologies

[Tore Rye Andersen]

Typos are unavoidable and will always slip by even the closest scrutiny. 
Publishing a book of several hundred pages is a logistical nightmare, and 
compared to many other books, Pynchon's are blessedly free of typos. But 
just to show you how unavoidable they are: You didn't notice any typos in 
either GR or M&D. OK, have a look: In GR there are typos or editorial 
mistakes on pages 14, 32, 94, 128, 223, 414, 454, 518, 523, 715, 732, 758. 
In M&D there are typos on pages 84, 106, 347, 707 (AND, the first paperback 
edition of that novel mistakenly reprinted the text of the uncorrected 
advance reader's copy, as opposed to the corrected first edition). Vineland 
have typos on page 160, 179. Lot 49 has typos on pages 87, 89, 103, 114, 
155. And those are just the errors I've run across, there are sure to be 
more.
So to complain about typos in the 1085 pages of AtD is really to complain 
about Murphy's Law, or the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Like sex, typos are 
here to stay...

Best.
