"Woohoo,
I received my book this weekend and can hardly put it down." G.S.
|
In proofing
the actual book, some typographical and other errors were found despite
several of us working very hard to make sure they didn't occur. Most
do not materially affect my intended meaning. The bold headings below
indicate where the original text is found; the intended text below is
the corrected text. I will update this as I go through the book. The
Errata is also available in PDF format for
easy printing.
Entries
marked with an * indicate that
the printed version currently differs significantly from the intended
version.

"I
haven't even begun to get through it yet, but it looks very informative.
The layout is nice and clear, which is really an essential if a new
ig owner is going to perservere and find out everything they need."
