As to typos or transcribing errors...
This is such good writing and thinking that it seems there really should be one paid proofreader to render it spotless before print. My computer connection is infuriatingly slow these days, plus I'm not going to mark up my printout.
Nevertheless, a few that come to mind because I just saw them:
P. 44, bottom: "work out" should be one word.
P. 46, "Atheists have used..." The word "close" should be "closed" ("nail closed").
In this same footnote "insure" changes spelling to "ensure." TL usually goes with the 'i' spelling, though the more recently "correct" for this usage, as I'm sure he knows, is with the 'e,' so I always figured it was a choice.
Lastly, the most common "typo" here is something that is also the most frequent in the fiction -- namely, the simple omission of words, and sometimes the reader's mind doesn't remember to fill them in.
