These errors were corrected in later printings.
After we passed the first proof of our book, the printer introduced several new errors, which in spite of our efforts were not corrected, or which went unnoticed for various reasons: some figure numbers in captions somehow lost their boldfacing; the numerals on p. 150, although correctly typeset as old-style figures (as used in the rest of the book), were printed as new-style (lining) figures; and on pp. 204–7, all numerals correctly typeset in italics, to indicate figure numbers, were output by the printer as roman type. A few problems with leading (line spacing) were also introduced, and some remain. The ‘2’ of ‘2nd’ on p. 203, col. 1, entry for Pictures by J.R.R. Tolkien, l. 2, was incorrectly set by Wayne as a lining figure (now emended). Only one colour error was made in the reproductions, too late to be corrected and still in error: the dust-jacket design for The Two Towers, fig. 180, p. 181, should be predominantly grey-brown, not olive green.
The following errors are present only in the original (hardcover) British edition of J.R.R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator, and have been corrected in later printings:
