zs.gothpunk wrote:In Book II. Through the Alps, on page 126. Mrs. Cavollaro's name is misspelled under her picture. Cavallaro is wrong, Cavollaro is correct.

Also, it should say "Miss Cavollaro" or "Signorina Cavollaro" as she is an unmarried lady.

Book II, p. 127: "Opening night is three days away-k eepers should note the exact date if using the 1923 calendar." Should say "... keepers should note the exact date ... "

Also on p. 127: "Keepers who intend to run the optional scenario "The Dreamlands Express" may find it convenient to stage part or even all of that strange and marvelous fable on the overnight journey between Paris and Venice." Shouldn't this be "... the overnight journey between Paris and Lausanne"?

Book II, p. 132: "The first night is the introduction (Ulthar to Dylath-Leen), the second the Murder on the Orient Express (Dylath-Leen to Aphorat), and the third the action of the Diplomacy Game through to the Journey's End." This should be "... the second the Murder on the Dreamlands Express ... "

Further down on p. 132: "A gun becomes a crossbow or a sword, a torch becomes a lantern, and etc." Remove 'and': "A gun becomes a crossbow or sword, a torch becomes a lantern, etc.". This might also be clearer for US readers if the word 'torch' is replaced by the word 'flashlight'.

Book II, p. 136, under THE EXPRESS OF ALL TIMES: "His Dreamlands Express is a timeless evocation of that great train, and the feat of dreaming that has gone into it's creation warps time around it." Should be "His Dreamlands Express is a timeless evocation of that great train, and the feat of dreaming that has gone into its creation warps time around it."

Book II, p.140, under THE BANQUETING HALL: "The table is set for a meal, with cloth of gold, knives of silver with rubies inset in the handles, crystal goblets and decanters, and vintages of the fine wine." Should be "... and vintages of fine wine" or "... and vintages of the finest wine".

Book II, p. 151, under DYLATH-LEEN: "There are many dismal sea-taverns near the myriad wharves, and all the town is thronged with the strange seamen of every land on earth, and of a few which said to be not on earth.'" The correct quote from HPL is "There are many dismal sea-taverns near the myriad wharves, and all the town is thronged with the strange seamen of every land on earth and of a few which are said to be not on earth."

Book II, page 153, box: "One thousand years ago the cities of Sarnath and the city of Ib were neighbors on the shore of Lake Mnar." Should be "One thousand years ago the city of Sarnath and the city of Ib were neighbors ..." or "One thousand years ago the cities of Sarnath and Ib were neighbors ..."

Book II,p. 166, Dreamlands Handout #3: "As long as Iranon sought Aira he remained eternally young and for that long Aira flourished." If you put in a couple of commas here, you will stop anybody wondering what 'long Aira' means: "As long as Iranon sought Aira he remained eternally young and, for that long, Aira flourished."
