Thank you so, so, so much, Skull.
Most of the items you pointed out have now been corrected in my latest draft, with some disclaimers below:
One thing, in general, I'd love to see added to the book would be to include each D-Mod's order number before their title.
Yeah; I waffled about this. In the end, I think Tim's effort to document every D-Mod with a specific ordered identifier like that was noble, but it was never correct: he missed a few D-Mods the first time around (and caught up with them in later years), he covered the Snyder D-Mods out of order, and it ignores the large number of lost D-Mods out there. Heck, I think the very first D-Mod, predating even Milli Vanilli, was 'The Porn DMOD'... though, now that i think of it, that can't be right. They weren't even called D-Mods before Milli Vanilli. My memory is a lie. It was one of the first, though.
Page 109: "The blackness progresses westward" should be "The blackness progresses eastward".
Ugh, that bummed me out. At one point, Tim confides that he has issues with left/right east/west, and it came through here. I think he would have preferred that it was fixed, so I fixed it.
Page 163: "On the one hand" should be "On one hand".
As Sparrow said, that's a common phrase, not fixed.
Page 266: I'm pretty sure "but it was one hell of a lot" should be "but it was a hell of a lot", though I'm not sure in this context.
Also, as Sparrow said, this is fairly common slang.
Page 270: I'm not sure what the hell happened here, but at one point it reads "Egypt"y). I don't know what the "y)" is doing there. Is it really supposed to be spelled like that because of the D-Mod, did Tim make a typo or was it an error caused when making the book. Either way, seems strange.
In Tim's original post, and in his news post, he said: "Egypt" (okay). So, somehow I corrupted it and lost the (oka. Grr.
