Mistakes/editing errors in "Solar Labyrinth"??

I'm on my second reading of BotNS, and I just got "Solar Labyrinth" in the mail. And I was surprised that only 12 pages into the book, I might have found 2 errors. I'm probably way off on this, but here goes: 1. A reference to the crash in the Cathedral as having occurred in Claw, when it was obviously the early half of Shadow. 2. The author says in the chapter "Catherine" that anyone lame or limping, he associates with Severian the Lame. I looked back at the chapter, and saw no such statement. Am I missing something huge here? Is there an errata page for this book? Jonathon McKitrick

Yeah, that's a mistake.

You are right about his not having made such a reference directly in the text of the "Catherine" chapter. Rather, he made the limping reference in Note #4 for the "Catherine" chapter.

No, and no. -Roy
