I really like this sentence.

Ha-ha. Bill should just put in that sentence!

Oy Vey!

Sorry for ignoring you, ecc. I have reread the paragraph and I also think it should be "an algorithm" and not "a logarithm".

So here we update again.

• It should be Townshend-Moon hooter, not Townsend (11. Bobbyland).
  
  
• Alberto drives Hollis East on La Brea. La Brea runs North-South. As they are actually driving East, the right way would be Santa Monica Blvd. followed by a one block drive in La Brea. (11. Bobbyland)
  
  
• The NSA would use an algorithm rather than a logarithm on their data miner... (16. Known Exits)
  
  
• Eleggua is written Ellegua once (18. Eleggua's Window).
  
  
• Hollis rents a Passat (The international currency of bad shit) but returns a Jetta (To give them the pleasure). Please give her a Jetta, so she can forget the Phaeton (27 and 53).
  
  
• It should be The Economist rather than the Economist (38. Tubal).
  
  
• Hollis talks about meeting Alejandro when she has actually met Alberto (45. Breakbulk).
  
  
• There's no Sultan of Dubai. Either the Emir of Dubai or the Sultan of Brunei (56. Henry and Richard).
  
  
• Winchester Silvertips or simply Silvertips. No Remington Silvertips. Remington Accu-tips still sounds horrid (76. Location Shoot).
  
  

Thanks to Minx for clarifying the Taurus question. I also think that the steganography sentence is a joke attempt. Your mileage may vary on its funniness.

Well, our work is done, at least for the paperback. Winchester Silvertips, driving by Santa Monica, one Townshend (there was only one that we knew about).

Now we will have to wait to see whether Bigend met a Sultan or an Emir, or what car did Hollis rent.

Not many corrections, I am a bit surprised. It must be the quality of the source material.

Beside the paperback what else were you thinking of? A mass market paperback?

Or, perhaps we could develop an independent narrative based solely around the former errors.

A Sultan, driving a Taurus, with a trunk load of Remington Silvertips is stalking Pete Townsend for unknown reasons while driving East on Labrea.

Why is he stalking Mr. Townsend and what do the mysterious bullets have to do with it?
