One thing a noticed:
In book 6, The Kindoms of Terror on section 78 when you are battleing Roark, says the text "If you reduce Roark’s ENDURANCE to 11 points or less, do not continue the combat but turn instead to 180." However if you have more then +7 combat ratio, then you have a chance to get a instant kill, and Roark are dead. But he can return from death. You can also kill him if you redcuse his ENDURANCE to twelve, and have combat ratio 4, and pick 9.
How can Roark return from death?
Maybe are the cener druids helping him.

There are other places in the books where a footnote indicates that if you score an "instant kill", your opponent is merely grievously wounded and not killed. There probably should be one here, too.

What about this?
Secton 190 in GS 3 btmg
You cant reach section 190, beacause no section is linked to it, but you can go from section 190.
If you go from 190, is the village already a Ruin.
The other way to get to the village is from section 228 to 201, but then is the village not ruined, and it is on fire.
On section 190, the text says.
"When at last you come to the village you find that it is nothing but a smouldering ruin."
Remember "When at last". When the text says that, i assume that it was a long time to get there. And that make sense because the village is already burned.
I think that it should in 228. "If you want to hurry to the burning village, turn to 201." and "If you want to go at normal speed, turn to 190."
What do you think??

The errors you point out have been known for years. Project Aon even has footnotes concerning them in the online versions of the books. However, the fix you suggest might actually have been the author's intention at some point, before he forgot to link that section. It does not seem to cause any inconsistencies.

A minor one (and not an error, just a strange translation), in LW book 1 (first version) Swedish and English section 275 says you follow a road for about 20 minutes, in the French (Gallinard Jeunesse version) it says about 10 minutes.
I know it is silly of me to even bring that up, but I found it interesting that the French translator (Camille Fabien) take the freedom to change Joe Dever's about 20 minutes to about 10 minutes, for I see no reason why, I assume it is an error

In 'The Buccaneers of Shadaki', the Grand Master receives a Talisman of Defiance. In the original version, it gives +2CS but in the French version, it's a whooping +9CS! |

Having literally just finished a playthrough of the Freeway Warrior series, I'll make mention of an error in one of the FW books.
In the fourth book, California Countdown, you (as Cal Phoenix) have to start a big fire in order to distract some clansman. Naturally, it doesn't go smoothly, and you get trapped inside of the building, a paint factory, that you've set alight. When it comes to trying to escape, you can try and break the window in a door, but the entry, #111, describes the process thusly;
The problem is that you don't have a Strength skill. You never have. It's not a game breaking error; you can just pick one of your other skills to use instead. I go with Field Craft on the basis that you'd have to work out the weakest part of the window to attack. But it's still an error that I can't believe slipped through the editing process.
The same book also has a printing error, with the corner of the page that contains section 341 instead showing the number 431.
