I have just finished rereading the series but i didn't get to read teotw. Finally got my hands on a copy today and i noticed some little footnotes, one example being on page 103, at the end of Chapter 7 (Out of the woods). Now at 1st i thought they might be regarding to prophecies or some such, but i have no idea. Oh, and my copy of teotw is the 1991 orbit version, with Moiraine and Lan riding in front of a full moon on the cover.

Neither of the copies I've read had foot notes. What did they say?

It says "E.O.T.W - 6" in the 1st, "E.O.T.W - 7" in the 2nd (on page 127), however the 3rd is on page 223 and says "E.O.T.W - 11". Footnotes is probably not the right word, but do these "numbers" have any significance?

hmm.... I have more than one copy but the one that I am looking at right now doesn't have those. Is there anything in the text, like an asterik or something that tells you to look at the foot note?

 

I might be able to track down my other copies to see if they have them in it.

They sound like printers' marks. If so they don't have any significance to the story, they just help the publisher bind the book correctly.
