The errata are listed below in order of page number.
When a line number is negative, it means to count lines up from the bottom of the page. Line numbers do not count the header (or footer) line containing the page number. Other than that, all textual lines are counted, even if they are tables, figure captions, section headings, or textual lines that contain graphical images. Any graphical image not contained in a textual line is not counted, even if the image contains text within it.
Many thanks to everyone who has reported errors. Dan Zingaro deserves to be singled out for special recognition. Thanks!
