Errors & omissions

As every reader knows, all books contain errors of one kind or another - be they grammatical errors, spelling mistakes or misprints. In most cases these errors are insignificant or even amusing, and some have even made it into realms of folklore. Who can forget the immortal "Franky my dear, I don't gibber. Dang!", the surreal "Come up and sell me some lime" and the bizarre "Budgies? Budgies? We don' need no steenkin' budgies!".

The current issue is the 2015 reprint edition. Despite the grand name, it's exactly the same as the previous 5th printing of the first edition. All of the typos/misprints from the previous editions have been corrected.

If you find any typos that aren't already documented here, please feel free to drop me a line with the details.
