In Adventure One, Grandpa Edgar says: "It's better to use a pencil instead of a pen. It allows us to erase our mistakes." But once a book goes to print, what am I supposed to do? I've listed my mistakes here.

Page 16: "The pale green paint on the twisted railings of the four balconies-—two on the third floor and two on the second-peeled away and exposed the rusted metal underneath." (not "pealed")

"If we were all perfect, the inventor of the eraser would have died a failure." -my 10th grade art teacher
