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.
