  I’m guessing that the UK edition pagination starts with pg.1, but it and the US editions are printed from the same file, so otherwise the same.

  Not a typo per se, but a beanstalk from L1 to the South Pole? Centre of the hemisphere in line with Earth Moon axis, surely? I don't think this is a spoiler, it is incidental....
