Spelling mistakes[]

Can anyone tell me if the 4th edition of the Encyclopedia has corrected any of the following spelling mistakes from the previous edition? --NetSpiker (talk) 06:59, December 18, 2016 (UTC)

‘audet IX (‘aucdet IX)

Alfa 117 (Alfa 177)

Altec (Atlec)

Andrus Hagen (Andrus Hagan)

Barton Tinapp as Talaxian (Barton Tinapp as Vidiian guard #1)

Catualla (Catulla)

Christi Henshaw (Christy Henshaw)

Claire Raymond (Clare Raymond)

Darian Wallace (Darien Wallace)

Dianna Giddings (Diana Giddings)

Dmitri Valtane (Dimitri Valtane)

Dulmer (Dulmur)

Frank Da Vinci as Osborne (Frank Da Vinci as Vinci)

Stec (Stex)

Taar (Tarr)

There is no entry for Garrison (Garison) and Stec (Stex). Kasidy Yates' middle name was changed. Rob LaBelle is credited for Kafar and Oxilon. As for the rest, there are no changes. (The Star Trek Encyclopedia, is in my opinion, not worth the money. Memory Alpha does a better job.)--Memphis77 (talk) 04:01, January 17, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. Memory Alpha has it's own mistakes though. --NetSpiker (talk) 04:19, January 17, 2017 (UTC)

Memory Alpha is better, as it is free - I do not know many people who can spend nearly a $100 (Amazon) or $150 (bookstore) on a two-volume set book - and is accessible to all. It is, as well, more comprehensive. The reference work was limited to a set number of pages.--Memphis77 (talk) 04:23, January 17, 2017 (UTC)

Rarity[]

Did the 4th edition have a very low print run? Was there a recall that I hadn't heard about? There are only a few copies available on Amazon and eBay, and the cheapest price is over $1000. --NetSpiker (talk) 14:39, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
