Corrections
At each printing, corrections have been made for errors found up to that time. Lists of corrections for known significant errors (for the English-language editions) can be downloaded below, as PDF files. There is a separate list for each printing. The pages are formatted so that they can be trimmed to book-page size.
Note: To distinguish between the three Krieger printings, check the
latest date of reprinting or reissue on the copyright page. To
distinguish between the Wiley (New York) printings of the second
edition, examine the series of numbers, 10 9 8 etc., on the bottom line
of the copyright page. In the first printing (2001) the last number is
1, and in the second printing (2002) it is 2. To distinguish between
different Wiley-VCH printings check the corrections. The 2004 printing
has the same errors as the 2002, but in the 2006 printing all
corrections known at that time were inserted.
