Corrections

Throughout the movie they show Johnny Depp with non filter Lucky Strike cigarette packages. Throughout the film you can see clearly that he is smoking cigarettes with white filters then sometimes with brown filters and again sometimes without filters. [He could be using different cigarettes throughout the film, or even put different ones in the same box. I do that, put lots of different brands in one box. One is not restricted to smoke just one brand of cigarettes their entire life.]

Corso is sitting on his bed in the Sintra Hotel and he notices the cloth (which he had wrapped the book in before he hid it behind the mini-bar fridge) lying on the floor. It makes no sense that after pulling out the mini-bar fridge from the cupboard to find the book, the thief would have bothered to put the mini-bar fridge back and the tray of glasses etc. back on top, then close the door of the cupboard. [Character decision, not a movie mistake. The thief probably did not want Corso to realize the book was gone immediately, but forgot about the cloth.]

It makes no sense that after pulling out the mini-bar fridge from the cupboard to find the book, the thief would have bothered to put the mini-bar fridge back and the tray of glasses etc. back on top, then close the door of the cupboard, especially as they discarded the cloth on the hotel room floor before they left the room. [It's likely they intended to keep the book wrapped up and it came off without them noticing.]
