Noticed some printing errors in a couple of Cape hardcover editions; ex-library so they are old and well-used. But I only noticed them recently.
In Great Northern one leaf or two pages are out of sequence so they run 78, 83, 84, 79, 80, 81, 82, 85 etc. It was “Reprinted 1964 after Type reset 1958, Eighth Impression 1956 (so is the 1964 edition the Ninth or the Tenth Edition?)
In Swallowdale the List of Illustrations has “IN PETER DUCAVECK’S … 214 (the caption below the illustration of Peter Duck’s Cave is correct). From the Twenty-eighth Impression, 1968. The impression was preceded by: Twenty-seventh Impression, 1965, New Edition, Type reset 1961, Twenty-sixth Impression, August 1960. Note that the new edition, 1961 (type reset) edition was not the Twenty-seventh Impression! It is recent enough to have a SBN (not ISBN) Number, 60632 8.
