BlackTalon Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Concerning the "Giantsbabe" thing:Tormund did at one point mention it in one of the other books (ASOS I believe) when he was talking to Jon and telling him the story of how he was (supposedly) adopted by a female giant while traveling and she made him drink from her breasts. IIRC he said sth to Jon along the lines of "don't mention the story to the others, Giantsbane sounds much better than Giantsbabe".So I guess it was intentional on the part of Jon.

Ororo727 Jon Snow Fangirl Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Tyrion Page 626 ADwd US hardcover."Their lead balls did vastly more damage then the smooth stones other slingers used..." It should be than, the conjunction, versus then the adverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spilly Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 There was a couple of times where Tyrion was spelled Tyron... In his last two chapters I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Killer Snark Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I don't know if it's the same for all copies, but the version of the first book I read, the one with the HBO pic on the front, was very typo ridden, frequently one or two per page, with a few sentences barely making sense. I still remember a moment that refers to someone donning a long 'clock'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronz Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Late to the party but I think I found one on pg 379, US HC first printing. I am to assume further editions have already been fixed but figure it's worth noting:"You heart does not concern me. Just your hands." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashtibram Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I can't give hardcopy pg number, cause I'm in too big a rush to look it up, but on my nook version, page 581, in a Tyrion chapter it says "hands of gold are always gold, but a woman's hands are warm"One would assume hands of gold would be gold, would one not?Seriously?"hands of gold are always cold, but a woman's hands are warm" are lyrics from a song which is a sort of recurring theme for Tyrion.

Roughspun Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 @ronbarak: Thanks for the list! “alarums” might be intentional, though? And “a eunuch” is used throughout the books.P.S.: To add some more:Chapter 8 (Tyrion), p. 114: “which makes more sense than Munken’s version” (Munkun)Chapter 24 (The Lost Lord), p. 314: “King of Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and Lord of the Seven Kingdoms” (the Andals)Chapter 27 (Tyrion), p. 353: “West of the Rhoyne, he knew, the wharves of Volantis teemed with sailors, slaves, and traders, and the wineshops, inns, and brothels all catered to them. East of the river, strangers from across the seas were seen less seldom. We are not wanted here, the dwarf realized.” (seldom or less often)Chapter 31 (Melisandre), p. 416: the drunkard Septon Celladar” (Cellador) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Killer Snark Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 'Alarums' is an accepted alternate spelling for 'alarms', with a somewhat different context. An alarum is given during times of danger, usually by voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willem Darry Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Rakharo is also misspelled as Rahkaro somewhere, but without numbers this is kind of useless. Bah! Page 474 of hardcover aDwD...just came across that myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tyrion XX Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I remember seeing typos in the multi time delayed paperback. You'd think they could've spent the extra year proof reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty-horse Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 These are based on the ePub ebook, eISBN: 978-0-553-90565-6I don't have page numbers since they depend on the viewer app.Chapter 56 - The Iron Suitor:Euron had taken Kerwin off Greenshield, where he had been in service to Lord Chester, tending his ravens and teaching his children, or perhaps the other away aroundShould be "other way around"?The dead cities rotting on that fervid, sweltering shore were best avoided, every seamen knewShould be "seaman" singular?Epilogue:The map was beautiful, painted by a master’s handPerhaps it should be "maester's"?
