Men screamed. Kelsier spun, Pushing against a group of soldiers and sending himself flying toward a prison cart. Flaring his pewter, he smashed into it and grabbed the metal door with his hands.
Prisoners huddled back in surprise. His pewter still flared, Kelsier ripped the door free with a burst of power, then tossed it toward a group of approaching soldiers.

606-3 KELSIER, YOU CURSED LUNATIC, Dockson thought, -> KELSIER, YOU CURSED LUNATIC, DOCKSON thought, (all the other chapters I've checked have the first five words in all caps. The first four words are correctly italicized in this edition though.)
Ars Arcanum:
645-chart This needs a little rearranging. The zinc and brass lines should be switched. What each line says is correct, and they have the correct symbol, but they're in the wrong order (all the other metal pairs are listed with the alloy on the bottom). Also, the whole Brass line should be bolded and the whole Zinc line should not be bolded.
645-4 BRASS (EXTERNAL MENTAL PULLING METAL) -> BRASS (EXTERNAL MENTAL PUSHING METAL)
646-4 As a side effect, the person burning copper is themselves immune -> effect, people burning copper are themselves immune
647-10 ZINC (EXTERNAL MENTAL PUSHING METAL) -> ZINC (EXTERNAL MENTAL PULLING METAL)
Ruthie:
I found several in Warbreaker, but I don't remember where now. Maybe I'll tell my husband (who's currently reading) to keep an eye out.

Same here ... (except for the part about telling my husband to keep an eye out) ... I'll post as I go back through the 2nd time ...
Liathiana:
This isn't part of his books but I was reading over his First Law in the Articles section of his website and at one point he says "fast" instead of "vast".
Turbolinux999:
In 'Mistborn: Hero of Ages', both the hardback and paperback, Adonalsium is spelled incorrectly in the one sentence mentioning it(?).
