Right, here's what I noticed--much reduced from previous trawls. Many of these were spotted when running the less-simple editions through a spelling/grammar check in MS-Word. Despite the HORRIBLE amount of false-positives--and the number of times it wants to take something correct and make it wrong!--it has proved quite useful for flagging up potential issues.

BOOKS 13-20:(er) The Story So Far: to destroy the fertile world of Magnamund have themselves -> to destroy the fertile world of Magnamund, have themselves

Sections 72, 168, 173, etc.] (ne) Errata: (Sun Thane is the highest possible rank) -> as Sun Thane is the highest rank it is possible to have attained in this book [so: Or something similar.]
BOOK 18:(er) 271: The bridge, and the surrounding banks of the river, are -> The bridge and the surrounding banks of the river are (ne) Errata: (33) Replaced 'or less ' with 'or less,'. -> (33) Replaced 'or less <!--link-text-->turn' with 'or less, <!--link-text-->turn'. [so: The trailing space was there because I didn't originally know how to get checkerrata.pl to work properly with <link-text> elements! >_< ]
BOOK 19:(er) Improved Disciplines: The degree of damage so caused, and the resultant drain upon a Grand Crowns reserves of ENDURANCE, are dependent -> The degree of damage so caused and the resultant drain upon a Grand Crowns reserves of ENDURANCE are dependent [so: Also (ne) in Book 20.] (??) 6, 62, 220, 257, 312, 338: If you possess a Bow, and the Discipline of Magi-magic and have attained the rank of Kai Grand Guardian -> If you possess a Bow and the Discipline of Magi-magic, and have attained the rank of Kai Grand Guardian
