OK, now the promised errors we caught before publication. Professor Anderson's books were produced from a variety of materials including old handwritten notes, creased and foxed typewritten pages, faded mimeographed pages, old printed material from bulletins, etc. To make the data entry as efficient as possible, we typed the material if we had to, but used OCR (optical character recognition) software and Dragon speech recognition software whenever possible. There were funny typos in the original materials, and both the OCR and Dragon introduced a lot more. To be fair, the original documents were hardly pristine so that severely limited the OCR’s ability to interpret them. Poor old Dragon had to contend with my voice and it did a remarkable though hardly perfect job. I added a few editorial comments in square brackets below to clarify certain points. Professor Anderson found these typos hilarious and we hope you find them amusing too...

*One day Professor Anderson and I were walking near his home and we saw a large new building under construction. The design was quite peculiar, with oddly shaped angular rooms jutting out of it. We concluded that the architect had struggled with the angle and lost.
