Steve Goodman: Facing the Music
by Clay Eals




Corrections, additions

Thanks for the fixes!

At the front of the book's first printing, 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. Also, in the nine months between the book's first printing and its second printing, I have made hundreds of additional alterations, updates and additions. All of these changes can be found in the second printing, and I'm listing here the changes that I kept track of, for your reference.

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