General!! general(FMi)

To help you in assessing this errata document we have placed
exclamation marks in front of each entry that we consider essential forcorrectly understanding the book contents.

general(FMi)Due to the printing process there may be small alignment problems
between blue and black text on some pages. These can vary frombook to book depending on how the paper was handled between print
runs—such is the analog nature of printing on a press.

(MiV)

The blue circle shouldn’t be visible behind the black circle. This is aproblem due to the printing process used for the book—it does notshow up on all books.
