List of errors in the first two printings of the book, ordered by appearance in the text (the errors that have been corrected in the second printing are listed in the second of the two sections below). The most serious errors are those whose page number is typeset in bold face; the other generally do not alter the comprehension (but we are nonetheless very sorry that they are there). This list is also available in PDF format.
Errors in the second printing (December 2006)
