do minor errors ruin good books?
I feel very churlish being annoyed that Spin's author got
M41 mixed up with
M31
There were other errors, but this one was jarring.
Good book though, fun read.

I hate it when I notice an error like that, because then I feel like I have to verify everything else in the book. I ran into one recently where a Pope's name was given with the wrong numeral and I felt like I had to verify everything else before accepting it.
In a case like this, I can simply mentally substitute 31 for 41 and carry on. Irritating, but it can be corrected.
When a writer confuses speed with velocity, though (WJW in his otherwise amusing Praxis novels) whole plot elements cease to make any sense, and there is no repair possible.
