Here's my challenge to you, faithful reader. Find a typo, and post it here. Find an error, post it here. Find a comment with which you don't agree - keep it to yourself. Find a fact that is erroneous, post it here.

First edition hard cover, first printing: page 130. In the second paragraph under the heading EROSION, the word "minute" (as a unit of time) didn't fit at the end of the line, and was broken into "mi-nute." It should have been broken into "min-ute."

The last paragraph before the heading: "Sinking, 10.7.9" includes this sentence: "I should stand my ground and take what's mine; do not retreat into the shadows and make it easy for her forget."

Page 100 makes a derogatory comment about the band Phish. Clearly this is an error.
