They look like the sort of errors you get from optical character recognition (or lack thereof....), so my guess is that they have scanned in an old printed copy for the re-issue.

I have read a number of ARCs over the last couple of years and I was shocked at the number of typos and weird characters that appeared - there was one practically every other page!Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838072651419264066noreply@blogger.com
