Mike, in light of Meow's latest posts, can you confirm the exact date when the files were sent to the printer?
I'm new to CoC and was really excited about pre-ordering the physical books from a hobby game store (haven't pulled the trigger yet), but I must admit that the obvious errors and omissions that might remain in the printed books are dampening my enthusiasm. I'm currently unemployed and with many products on the market competing for my attention, my game dollars unfortunately don't stretch as far as they once did.
I imagine that Chaosium will publish an official errata sheet at some point... but given the price of the slipcase set, I'm thinking twice about purchasing.
Thanks for your time.
