So, you are still waiting for you copy of book 3, The Caverns of Kalte, in its Collector's Edition? Well, get ready for a shocker.
We've just learned that the 3rd print of that book is missing the section 192 just like in the first print a few months ago. Sadly, Mongoose won't be able to replace your copy because replacements don't exist and they can't ask the American printer to make a 4th print right away without loosing tons of money. However, Matthew Sprange announced that Mongoose Publishing will refund anybody that is unhappy with its copy of the book.
So, if you still plan to keep your defective book 3, here's section 192. Print it and insert it in your copy:
*** Section 192
If you possess a Glowing Crystal, turn to 267.
If you do not, turn to 44.
***
I guess that those having a copy from the 2nd (and corrected)print are very lucky.

Yeah but it's Mongoose. What did you expect? They're known for having lots of enthusiasm but not quite checking on all the details before putting stuff out (I mean just look at the LWd20 stuff, it's got a few awkward bits in it).

More info on this:
Matthew Sprange declared that if/when a 4th print of that book is made, this error will be corrected. The reason for the current problem is that they have sent the uncorrected file of the 1st print to the US printer just as I have suspected. This means that the softback version of book 3 should have section 192 in it.

I would submit that anyone not able to count from 1 to 350 is probably not suitable to work on a newspaper stand, let alone an international publishing company...
