In README.hebrew you mention: > Understanding the Jewish Calendar by Rabbi Nathan Bushwick. Moznaim Publishing > Corporation. ISBN 0-94011-817-3 > - Another excellent book.

My copy (dated 1989 with no ISBN), has a couple handwritten corrections you might like to know about: On the table on page 96, in the far right column, Day of Pesach is changed from vav to gimmel and for a regular year after a leap year, "Friday 6:00pm 408 chalakim" is changed to "Thurs. night 6:00pm 408 chalakim". On page 102: "But in a year during which Shavous fell on Monday or Wednesday, Naso was already read on the Shabbos before Shavous, so there are only nine Sidros left for the 9 Shabbasos" is changed to "But in a year during which Shavous fell on Monday or Wednesday, if Naso was already read on the Shabbos before Shavous, there are only nine Sidros left for the 9 Shabbasos".
