In some editions the subtitle was "Trajet direct en 97 heures 20 minutes"
though the right time is 97 hours 13 minutes 20 seconds.
So in "From the Earth to the Moon" the projectile took off at 10:46:40 pm, but in "A Trip around it" the take-off is at 10:47:20 pm!!
Another one: the date of "arrival" is Dec 4 in the first book, but Dec 5 in the sequel! In the Introductory Chapter Verne blame the newspapers for this error!
