THE STATUS CIVILIZATION

Transcriber's List of Corrections

Chapter One
Page 1, "futher" changed to "further." (He awoke, rubbed his
eyes, and waited for further memories to come.)
Page 9, "ot think" changed to "to think." (All he wanted to
do was lie down, to sleep, to have a chance to think about his
situation.)

Chapter Two
Page 14, "theif" changed to "thief." (I'm ashamed to admit
that I can't remember what a credit thief is.)

Chapter Five
Page 36, "wtih" changed to "with." (She appeared to be
dissatisfied with her husband; and divorce was forbidden on
Omega.)

Chapter Nine
Page 65, "murder" changed to "murderer." (Before his visit to
the Dream Shop he had never felt himself a murderer, no matter
what the Earth authorities had accused him of.)

Chapter Sixteen
Page 107, "undected" changed to "undetected." (By noon,
Barrent was still undetected.)
Page 114, "were were" changed to "were." (If he were able to
get by the city gate, he would have to watch for the hunting
patrols.)

Chapter Eighteen
Page 125, "Barren" changed to "Barrent." (Barrent ducked out
of a corner in which the creeping vines were trapping him.)

Chapter Twenty-Three
Page 151, "coud" changed to "could." (Barrent backed away,
wondering if a needlebeam could stop it.)

Chapter Twenty-Four
Page 159, Added a missing end-quote. (The full facilities of
this park are waiting for all lovers of the great outdoors.")
Page 159, "Presumbaly" changed to "Presumably." (Presumably
they liked this sort of thing.)
