After seeing some of the posts people have forwarded (such as this one: http://www.harpercollins.com.au/features/competitions/competition4.aspx), I can understand the confusion. Yes, Ray, I think we do have an incorrect sense of the timing, but I think that sense of timing has been encouraged by the publisher (perhaps inadvertently). If your changes aren't in to them yet, then there are no corrected prints yet, so the discussion of exchanging your copy for a corrected version (and a description of how to identify the corrected version) seems premature to me. Maybe they're just trying to make certain that people can tell the uncorrected versions when they still see them in the stores, or they're just trying to make sure customers know a fix is coming, but I've been trying to pay attention and I know I'm confused! It sounded like corrected electronic (Kindle, Nook, etc) editions may be on the way out the door already, from the impression I had a couple weeks ago. It sounds like that's incorrect, but this is the first I've heard that things weren't a lot further along in the process than they apparently are. Not mad at anybody (my copy should show up in my mailbox this week, hopefully tomorrow), but more than a little confused, and hoping a corrected chapter is available before I get there. Oh well. I'll enjoy it no matter what, I suspect.
