Errors in first edition (Rupa, 2003)

 

There is one major mistake, which I’ll point out first, and a few minor glitches as well.

 

Page 271

The 2nd last paragraph here is wrongly placed. (It reappears correctly on page 273.) It replaces the correct, far shorter paragraph that reads:

Page 9

3rd par ADD quotation marks:

p.12

 last par has single quote marks whereas usually double quotes are used.

 

p.15

par 4

“Very [not “Verry]

 

page 173

last par

boxes [NOT oxes]

 

page 56 last line

throwing her arm [etc]
