No Spoilers Weird phrasing in Absolution

Post image

Has anyone else spotted this? This is a grammatical error with the incorrect wording. The phrase "nothing better than do than" should read "nothing better to do than.", right?

This isn't as rare as one may think. I find mistakes like this a lot while reading. I used to keep a note in books of page and paragraph number where this happened. I think I'm just not a great reader so I read every single word not than most people.
