I recently got this book and have read several of the articles. Great stuff, and plan on getting his next collection.
I did see a few typos, which I thought would have been picked up in proofreading.

All our books are proofread many times over, but typos still occasionally pop up, sadly.

A great collection of Ric Lai’s articles.
The problem with this collection (the same with his other collection) is some people assume its a collection of articles explaining these series, when really these are “Wold Newton Universe” related articles.
