Suspected TYPO in the word "line[d]"

In the quotation by Mark Z. Danielewski from (page 26 of) House of Leaves it says, in part, [QUOTE:]

all line up in these plastic caps

However, the word "line" there, looks -- to me -- like a TYPO. In in my opinion, that verb should be [the past participle] "lined". (right?)

I would have changed it myself, but I do not have a convenient way to check what it says on page 26 of the original. (Do you?)

Actually, if it does say [the word] "line" -- instead of "lined" -- on page 26 of the original, then (in my opinion) a notation such as "[sic]" would be appropriate, right after the word "line" in the quotation.

@Mike Schwartz: I have fixed it to lined, and linked page 26. J3133 (talk) 15:44, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

THANK you, ... for doing both of those things.

The inclusion of the link to the quote -- (from page 26) ... including "all lined up]" ... was a nice idea! If a convenient w:hyperlink like that had been there before, then I probably could have used it to see how the phrase "all line[d] up" was appearing in the original -- whether with or without the fifth letter of "lined".
