I have heard a lot of opinions from Pathfinder version. I have possibility to buy Player's Guide and Game Master Guide (Printed 2012). Is it true that there are a lot of flaws and editing errors in those books?
PS: I am still looking for to get original Earthdawn books (4th edition).

Re: Earthdawn (Pathfinder version)
Personally, I don't have any opinion on them (I don't own a copy).
I don't know so much about editing errors, but in terms of "flaws" the general consensus (at least based on what I've read) is that it is a conceptually flawed adaptation -- in the sense of trying to bring Earthdawn to the Pathfinder system. Existing Earthdawn fans didn't really need (or want) a D20 adaptation of the game, and the PF adaptation -- at best -- didn't really highlight what was special about Earthdawn to attract new players from the D20 world.
Beyond that... beats me. I understand what the intention of putting out a Pathfinder version of Earthdawn was, but from what I recall the development time was kind of short, and I think the books probably suffer as a result.
Again, a lot of this is based on what I've seen online in terms of critique.
