Correction to M.Martins review
924332
I also have this radio and think its great.. very easy to use and looks awesome..  Martins wrote in his review "and all the streets are pre-programmed, any updates come straight from Garmin via satellite, " - thats NOT true. Software updates need to be downloaded from Garmins website and burned to a CD and copied over. Map updates are usually done yearly and must be purchased (for $140) from Garmin (or another authorized re-seller) - they are NOT free and are NOT sent straight from a satellite.

It doesn't change how good this radio is, but I just wanted to make sure no one was basing their purchase on an incorrect statement.

My grandson truly loves these books; but when he was looking thru the book he discovered an error.
Rutherfordium on page 177 is pictured the correct way.  Rutherfordium on page 178 is pictured upside
down.  I believe that science books should be correct on all levels!

A NOTE TO ALL READERS

As the author of this book, I feel a strong sense of responsibility for everything in it. Naturally, typos and other errors are an inevitable occurrence despite all attempts to achieve perfection. Writers have to overlook the occasional misspelled word or transposed letters and dismiss them as trivial. However, I discovered a number of errors in this book which should be brought to the attention of the reader and corrected. Obviously it is too late to fix any errors in this volume and all of the information in it is there to stay forever, whether it is accurate or not. So, in an effort to affect some degree of damage control, I have included this list of errata to be kept with this book in an attempt to set the record straight for all present and future readers.

* The book was incorrectly titled: "U.S. Naval Aviation Flying Clothing and Gear" by Schiffer. This was a temporary file name given to the text by someone at Schiffer. I reminded my editor to correct the title at all three stages of the editing process but they either forgot or refused to fix the problem. The title should be: "U.S. Naval Aviation Clothing and Equipment". The incorrect title is particularly unfortunate since "aviation" and "flying" are somewhat redundant.

* The U.S. Navy Mark I life vest is incorrectly referred to as "Mark II" throughout the book. This error was due to the "fuzzy logic" used by a computerized grammar correcting program. It appears that references to "Mark I" as in the "Mark I life vest" and "Mark I Willson goggles" was interpreted as a conflict with similar references using roman numerals as in "Mark II Willson goggles" and "World War II". Evidently the grammar correcting program continuously prompted the user to "correct" one or the other and at some point "Mark I" was changed to "Mark II" for all Mark I life vest references in the text.

* The back figure in the facing page photo has the top of his head cut off. The photo was cropped too short by the layout people at Schiffer. There is no excuse for this and it amounts to nothing less than sloppy editing.

* In the last paragraph of the introduction, the word "imposable" should be "impossible".

* Left and right are incorrectly transposed in the caption for the photo at the bottom right on page 126.

* The word "them" should be "the" in the caption at the bottom of page 219.

* On pages 248 and 250, Admiral John S. McCain is incorrectly described as Admiral Marc Mitscher. Both photos were incorrectly captioned at the National Archives. This error is somewhat understandable since both men were admirals, both were aviators, both were very close in age and both bore a resemblance to each other.

I sincerely offer my most humble apologies to all readers for these errors and I hope to include this list with all future sales of this volume. I have been graciously reassured by everyone who currently owns a copy that the aforementioned errors do not diminish the value or scope of work of the book. I encourage all owners of this book to copy and paste these corrections to a printable format and keep them with their copy for future reference.

This is an important book. However, the entry on the book's page refers to a wrong author. The author of this book is:
(...)

It would be helpful to potential readers if this error could be corrected. I looked through the choices for reporting this error,
but could not find an appropriate page.

I am not happy to endorse the book The Ancestral Continuum #AncestralContinuum written by Natalia O'sullivan and Nicola Graydon. as the information about me is incorrectly edited not at all accurate and any attempt I've made to have it changed over the past year has so far not been done. I hope the changes will be made as promised and when they have I will feel happier about the book. Very upsetting and disappointing :(

This commentary has not 1100 pages but ca. 300. Be aware that it is not the great Gundry's commentary on Mark. Tha page numbers indicated above are deceptive.

My review of  Ashbee A. Bakht's book "Mining Valuation Handbook" was posted here by mistake. There is no relation between the two books.

As for the book, I found it fascinating and informative.  On a different note, I would like to comment on the "review of reviewers" a certain Wendell J. McGinness Jr. posted elsewhere in this book review column.  Please note, if you will, that Mr. McGinness scathingly derides other reviewers for their grammatical and spelling errors.  Ironically enough, his second sentence reads, "It strains the intelligence of some of us to understand how a company trying to sell books (among many other products) and survive as a net business pioneer, could allow so many uneducated, ignorant, pseudo reviews as I have read."  The comma after the word "pioneer" is completely unnecessary, as any good English professor would confirm.  Mr. McGinness should practice some of what he preaches.  As for everyone else, please do not allow sophomoric and pretentious people to taint your enjoyment of life.

Simple comment for an editorial mistake: Page 28 mentions the inventor of the Higgins boat. It states "Henry Higgins" but it was Andrew Higgins.

Andrew revised combat and helped save the world; Henry revised Eliza Doolittle and created a great entertainment spectacle.

The previous reviewer mentioned a disputed photo . I was present when the current photo was taken by the photographer and poet Curtis Goodnight . So it is obvious that this reviewer has not read this current version .

To everyone who has purchased Martin's latest "Introduction to Technical Analysis", we do apologize for the lack of the link featured on the cover. Unfortunately, as the author, we cannot control what happens to the manuscript or external files promised once a contract is signed by the author and publisher and the work has left our control.  Once the author signs over the rights, he loses all rights to the work. Again, the publisher owns these rights legally.  Please note we provided the files to the publisher, so they do exist, but were unfortunately left out of the final copy prior to printing.

As for our site pring.com hosting the file; we cannot. This is a legal issue and we would be challenged by the publisher for illegally posting copyrighted material.

We do hope the publisher will correct these errors when the next printing of the book occurs. However, in it's defense, the book has been updated from the earlier edition which was in print for 15 years and is a great learning tool for beginner technicians!

Good luck and good charting! :o)

This book was written by my father who passed away in February 2009 at the age of 85.  It is an excellent account of his life and the moments of history of which he was a part, from his presence at President Kennedy's autopsy to his World War II parachute jump on Corregidor.  As his son, though, I am quite likely biased.

I am writing this review to inform anyone considering purchasing a used copy of the book that there are a number of minor picture caption typos and one big misstatement in the Editor's Note of which you should be aware.

The misstatement concerns the rifle used to shoot President Kennedy.  The Editor's Note states that it was an M1.  That is incorrect.  It was a 6.5 millimeter model 91/38 Mannlicher-Carcano rifle.  This has been confirmed with the other F.B.I. agent who was at JFK's autopsy with Dad.

This Editor's Note was not written by my father.  His health was beginning to fail at the time and I do not believe he even proofed it.  He would have caught such a glaring error.  The incorrect picture captions were corrected in my final proof of the book however the publisher inadvertently neglected to make the corrections before the book was printed.

I have not put this book up for sale on Amazon since we have yet to receive corrected copies of the book.  The publisher, Codfish Press of Brewster, MA, has not been forthcoming with those promised copies and we have little legal recourse since Dad apparently did not sign a written contract with them.  Not unusual for him since his contract was often just a handshake.  It has now been several years and I doubt we will ever see reprinted copies.

My family and I do hope to have copies of the existing book up for sale at some point.  Any copies sold/distributed by us will contain labels with corrections pasted over the offending passages.  Thank you.

I was sad to see that this book has been altered from Phyllis Balch's writings. In the chapter that expounds upon Silver Amalgam fillings, it claims the mercury in those types of fillings is not harmful to the human body.  Phyllis' original book as well as previous editions to the Fifth one held the opposite view.  As an orthomolecular nutritional consultant, I know that mercury is harmful to the human body.  Experts even say to limit the types of fish we eat and servings per week because of the mercury factor.  This book has been altered from Ms. Balch's original and NOT in the best way.  There may be other holistic philosophies that have been removed in this book and I would recommend that it is not entirely trustworthy because of those alterations.  I gave this three stars because there is still a lot of good information in the book, as long as it is identical to what Ms. Balch originally wrote.  I would recommend previous editions over this one.

In terms of publishing, the 1996 The Illustrated A Brief History of Time is a beautiful book with costly design, illustrations and paper stock.
It is unfortunate that the caption on p. 144 of Professor Stephen Hawking's illustrated book identifies the wrong pope with whom Prof. Hawking met in 1981. It was not Pope Paul but Pope John Paul II (who was pope from 1978-2005). Paul VI was pope from 1963 to 1978. If there are to be future editions of this illustrated book, I hope that the error can be corrected. Just as misspellings do, a mistake such as this calls into question the accuracy of the whole text. Subsequent scientific work after this book's publication reportedly supports Prof. Hawking's ideas. Typos undercut. Fix, please.

A couple of earlier reviews refer to a gross error in Variation 10, Book 2, of the Brahms-Paganini. This is not a matter of timing; it is a stupid editing mistake that no one at Sony was bright enough to catch, and it makes musical hash out of the variation. Furthermore, a similar error occurs in the coda to Chopin's Scherzo No. 2, where several measures are sliced out. Neither error is present on the original LP releases. Both of these mistakes are an insult to Graffman's musicianship, plus a black eye for Sony's current standards. Purchasers of the set deserve better than this.

In a recent Sony box of Philippe Entremont's concerto recordings, a similar error occurred in the Saint-Saens Concerto No. 3; this now seems to have been corrected and replacement copies can be obtained. As of June 2014, there is no sign that Sony intends to replace defective discs from the Graffman set, and a letter of concern sent to Sony's president elicited only acknowledgment of the problems but a denial that carelessness was involved (what else could it be?) and no indication that the errors will be fixed. Anyone wishing to follow up on the matter should email Bogdan Roscic at this address: bogdan.roscic@sonymusic.com.
