Eh....I tske it few people here have had the pleasure of reading a White Wolf sourcebook. Now that's bad editing. Trying to not sound like a fanboy, but what exactly are you guys comparing it to?
Honestly, I find the editing and quality of the book to be better than average for the RPG industry.
The only company in the RPG industry that has consistently good editing is SJG and even there, SJG still has errata.
I don't think it is possible to have an errate free book which is as math-heavy/dependent as the PHB tends to be. Conversely, the more "fluff-oriented" books tend to have less errata which makes sense if you think about it.
For example, I thought the 3E FRCS book had way less errors/errata than the 3E PHB and yet, I'm pretty sure it actually has more words in it.
A PHB is basically a calculus mathbook and given the fact that even my calculus book at UofT required "errata" I'm not exactly going to consider this a "tragedy"
