Errata
Of course, as I have reread the book in its physical form, typographic
errors have begun to leap out. Some of these appear in depressing
clumps where clearly the final proof-reading wasn't as thorough as it
should have been, for which the fault is entirely my own.
If you find other errors please contact me (and thanks to those who
already have done so).
