Steve Goodman: Facing the Music
by Clay Eals




Corrections, updates, additions

Thanks for the fixes!

At the front of the book's first and second printings and in e-mail blasts, I asked readers to point out what they think are errors in the text, and I've been delighted to receive messages pointing out where fixes should be made. I myself also have discovered a few.

In the nine months between the first and second printings, I made hundreds of additional alterations, updates and additions, all of which were found in the second printing. Likewise, in the four-plus years between the second and third printings, I made hundreds of other alterations, including updates, embellishments and rearrangements. On this web page, I am listing the changes that I kept track of that went beyond mere mechanical fixes.

Beyond what you see below, if you spot something in the book's first, second or third printings that you feel needs correcting, please e-mail me at clay@clayeals.com. I will make note of such errors on this site and include such fixes in a fourth printing, if that comes to pass.
