Thanks for the feedback Ted. Although we're working on finding out how to submit errata, we do know how to submit reviews on Amazon.... ;-) We only have one review which has fair comments, but an unusually harsh star rating based on those comments (similar comments about other books being "too simple" still usually fetch 3 - 4 stars, not 2). ;-) Anyway...please be sure to post your honest feedback on amazon (but don't post errata there, Amazon didn't edit the book). ;-) Thanks much.
