  US Kobo edition, chapter 11: "I speak eloquently if painfully (Old Enochian was not designed for human vocal chords), uttering words the Prime Minister embedded in my mind during our last meeting" "Vocal chords" (sounds made by close harmony singing groups, at least up until King Brian the Wild gets hold of them) should be "vocal cords" (flappy buzzy things in your neck)....

  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.

  The US Hardcover Tor edition, page 46: "Gilbert slumps.... [italic:]Stayed home and offered to take Mrs. Parker's pug for walkies."

It is certainly a smooth, worthy sentence as is, with its tiny element for confusing some Yanks.

  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....
