Corrections to all printings, including the new Oxford University Press reissue


Corrections made with the reissue by Oxford University Press in 2020

The book’s reissue by Oxford University Press (OUP) in 2020 has provided an opportunity to make a new round of page corrections, listed below. If you have an earlier copy of the book, published by Addison Wesley Longman (now part of Pearson), then it does not include these corrections. Some of these “corrections” are really just clarifications. Scroll down the page to see corrections made during the early printings of the book, from 2000 through 2003.

Note that the pagination of the book’s front matter has changed slightly in the new OUP version, adding 2 (ii) onto the Roman numerals used in the original version. The page numbers given below are for the original version, because the errors listed below appear only in that version.


Corrections made to early printings of the book, 2000 through 2003

The following errors affect only the first seven printings of the book, through about the year 2003. If you have a copy of the book from 2003 or earlier, check the bottom line on the copyright page where you should find a row of numbers counting up to 10. The lowest (leftmost) number in this row is the number of your printing.
