    El Poet: Errata Sheets

    Are "Errata" sheets (corrections from the author) available for Griffin's TOB (the most recent I have is 4th ed.)or other important books - BA1 & BA2 (If any discovered so far) The John May "...Edge" book seems to have several that confuse me. Thank you.

    Okay, I'm slow, but trying to catch up. I see just what I was looking for for BA on the new library started by Victor and posted just today! (It's under Table of Contents for those who haven't seen the post. I'm still wondering about the other books, but I'm getting the feeling that the latter one is libre non grata here. Thanks.

    It's my recent abridged version. I have a more detailed one that I will use to correct things you won't care about. (By the way, we refer to the book as "BJA.")

    Just here? :-) You're confused because May is confused. It's not an uncommon occurrence. :-)

    I wrote to Griffin with corrections. They were incorporated into later editions.

    Thank you Thank you. "Not uncommon" for readers, of course (?). So it's not worth it to unravel at least the pseudo quantitative part of his review? Just leave this unanswered if I understand - I'm starting to realize the deal, so to speak.

    If I struggle to understand the TOB I have for bedtime reading in 4th Ed., are the errata worth buying more recent ones? I just read the BJMath correspondence on S17, on what vs. 5?. I there more like that?? I need to get back to practice.

    No, that wasn't my meaning! :-)

    The less time I spend talking about John May on these pages, the better everyone will be. And, my quota for the month has just expired. :-)
