Oopsie --
In _Passage_ a sharp-eyed fan on the Baen Board inquired, "Shouldn't
that last word on page 305 be "towhead", not "Beargrass"?
Actually, it should not be there at all. That sentence *in the
galleys* was "Floating wrack either lodged on or broke loose dangerously
from towheads, those accumulations of trees and logs at the top ends of
the islands that from a distance resembled, the boatmen said, the unruly
locks of a fair-haired boy, hence the name."
I have no idea who stuck that erroneous (not to mention extraneous)
word in there, but I will have it removed again come the paperback
reprint. If anyone else has good catches, send 'em along as usual, and
I'll accumulate them against the day.
bests, Lois.
