The Rookie Hardcover Misspellings
I've noticed a few spelling mistakes in my copy of the Rookie, and I figured that I would make note of them. That way they can be fixed in any future printings.
There are a few more before these, but I didn't start taking notes until this point.

Page 191, 5th paragraph
Says - cool-suite
Should be - Kool suite (I'm pretty sure about this one, since it's called a Kool suite on page 108, and in Earth Core)

Page 213, 3rd paragraph
Says - "who ran every play as if his life depended in it."
Should be - ...depended on it.

Page 260, 2nd to last paragraph
Says - "I had some Tower food didn't agree with me, and it's a mess."
Should be - ...food that didn't... or maybe a comma or some sort of break in between food and didn't

Page 264, 8th paragraph
Says - "it seems something's got to change of the Krakens are going to get back into this game."
Should be - ...change if the Krakens...

Page 269, 3rd paragraph
Says - "knitting the shreds into a ugly but neat line."
Should be - ...into an ugly...

Page 277, 2nd to last paragraph
Says - "In the huddle, the players seemed different, starting at him with near reverence."
Should be - ...staring at him...

Page 290, Stalkers Box Score
Says - Ionath final score is 25
Should be - 21

Page 306, Last line before break
Says - "But is was a brief second."
Should be - "But it was a brief second."

Page 308, 2nd to last paragraph
Says - "Pine, you taking jerk."
Should be - "Pine, you tanking jerk."

Page 314, 6th paragraph
Says - "Quentin sat Pine him down on the medsled."
Either the word Pine or him should be removed.

Page 330, 2nd to last paragraph
Says - "He wondered how anybeing could dance..."
I was going to say that there should be a space between any and being, but since there's no space in anyone, this spelling might be correct.

There's probably more. I'm only on page 343, but I hope this list is helpful.

"Its the middle of the game. What do you want sleepy for?" 

"Sleepy" should be capitalized since it is being used as a proper noun.

You're right, the stink of J.C. was all over this. I don't know how I missed it.

    Here are a few more typos, that the evil Hutchinss put into the Rookie.

     

    Page 343, 4th paragraph after the standings

    Says - "Yeah, that throwing for 305 yards and two TDs, that's pathetic."

    Should be - ...that and throwing...actually this one might be right.

     

    Page 345, 2nd Akbar paragraph

    Says - "Is that the same one where he three interceptions?"

    Should be - ...where he threw three...

     

    Page 349, 2nd to last paragraph

    Says - "Get your worthless face of my field now!"

    Should be - ...face off my...

     

    Page 391, 8th Dan Paragraph

    Says - "Than it's a head-game,"

    Should be - "Then it's a head-game,"

     

    Page 391, 10th Dan Paragraph

    Says - "You know, were teams play other teams that are pretty damn good?"

    Should be - ..., where teams... Also, I don't think that sentence should end in a question mark.

     

    Page 436, 2nd to last paragraph

    Says - "What has begun as an amazing discover,β quickly grew into the potential for a fifth Galactic War."

    Should be - ...amazing discovery quickly...

     

    There's still a chance that the evil Hutch didn't get to the Timeline or Glossery. I'll let you know what I find out.

    Re: The Rookie Hardcover Misspellings

    I finally decided to write up the misspellings through the end of the novel.

     

    The ending started with 17 straight pages with only one spelling mistake and I thought for sure that the ending escaped the clutches of the evil Hutchins and his vile typesetters of destruction, but no, I hit 4 more in rapid succession. They rattled me so much that I couldn't do this write up for weeks. But here they are:

     

    Page 440, 2414 line

    Says - "They want "Satanic" Whitok removed form Earth."

    Should be - ...removed from Earth. 

     

    Page 453, 3rd Bullet

    Says - "Quyth government retreats to irradiated worlds, where the cretarakians choose not attack." 

    Should be - ...choose not to attack.

     

    Page 462, high-G Human

    Says - high-G Human

    Should be - High-G Human

     

    Page 462, Messageboard

    Says - "A flat screen about the size of a 8.5x11 piece of paper. Holds 50 terabytes of data.

    Should be - ...an 8.5x11 piece... 

     

    Page 463, The Tri - last sentence

    Says - "The Ace is about 1500 Earth years old and has a population of 112 million."

     Should be - The Tri is...
