Errors in three Edgar Rice Burroughs books

[Larry Baerveldt]

Greetings,

I recently read several of your editions of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I have identified three books that have small errors in them. I have confirmed the errors by comparing with print editions in my personal collection. 

Best regards,

Larry Baerveldt

Title: The Land That Time Forgot, by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Standard Ebooks edition: Revision A51CC3B, released on Mar 10, 2024.
https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/edgar-rice-burroughs/the-land-that-time-forgot

Part 2: The People that Time Forgot, Chapter 6:
Quote: “I hope that I may live to aid you,” I replied. “If I had my weapons and my ammunition, I could do much. Do you know where they are?” “No,” he said, “they have disappeared.” And then....
Correction needed: Two different speakers, so need a paragraph break between "...Do you know where they are?" and "No,".

Part 3: Out of Time's Abyss, Chapter 1:
Quote: “My grandaddy used to live down Coppington wy,” said Tippet.
Correction needed: Print version has an apostrophe in grandaddy, indicating accented speach, i.e. "gran’daddy".

Print Source: The Land That Time Forgot, Commemorative Edition
Pub: University of Nebraska Press, 1999
Reprinted from the 1924 edition by Grossett & Dunlap Publishers, New York

Additional Comment: There is a map of Caspak, drawn by ERB in 1917; so it should be copyright free. I feel this book would be greatly enhanced by the inclusion of his map. If you need an image of the map, please let me know.

Thanks, these have been fixed, except for grandaddy, which is a
recognized variant spelling so elision is not necessary.
