Probably the answer to this is staring me in the face from inside the
volumes of Letters, but I haven't seen it, so here is the question:
In what form did the Woolfs send to their printers, R. & R. Clark,
corrections that they wanted to see in already-printed books (NOT proof
corrections in books not yet published, but corrections or revisions to
books already in print)?
I've seen lists of corrections sent to the same printer from another
publisher, Faber & Faber, during that period. The lists were typically
in this form:
Page 100, line 10, change _this_ to _that_ [i.e., the affected words
underlined]
Page 200, line 20, insert comma after _something_
Do we know what the Woolfs did in the same circumstances?
To repeat: I am NOT asking about proof-corrections made before a book
was published, but about corrections intended for an existing plate or
for a photo-offset page, as in the correction made in the second
printing of Mrs Dalloway from "Brooks's" to "White's".
