Tolkien's Mistakes - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This isn't Tolkien's error, but it's still something that irritated me. In the movie-based book entitled "Weapons and Warfare" the author says Aragorn lived to be 188, when he really lived to be 210. I checked the appendices and was rather irritated at this oversight. The author knows so much about weaponry and armor and yet makes a blatant error such as this. Blugh.
