no, so feel free to provide more


If it is still needed, here are entries for three of the sources and a
note on the source of another, along with corrections for a few typos.

ok, we now have samples.bib (needs completion)

I also note that all of the quotes in the Dawkins source are
single-quotes, not double-quotes as in dawkins.tex, \quote{}, not
\quotation{}. This is unusual for a book printed in the USA by an
American publisher, so perhaps Dawkins wanted it that way.

although they looked nearly the same (size, font) the pagebreaks were

[NTG-context] Samples updates and bibtex entries

Hans,

The file samples.tex requests updated bibliography data for some of the 
samples. Since the file is a few years old, it is not clear if this 
information has already been provided.


If it is still needed, here are entries for three of the sources and a 
note on the source of another, along with corrections for a few typos.
