Where do we post/email/etc possible typos found in the book?

See subject line.
The forum could work, however, I thought there may be a more specified manner where Evan Cooch or Gary White let them build up before tackling them.

Thanks!

At this point, there should be relatively few typos, even fewer outright errors, but the probablility that there aren't any is 0. My personal preference is to post them here, since it provides a public record which will let other users track down any issues they find on their own, and determine if these are 'known' or not.

Of course, I should remind everyone that before submitting a bug report, make sure you're using the most recent versions of things - the software itself, or the book (and, individual book chapters are always the canonical reference standard. Collating them all into the 'full book' takes some time, so I only do that when enough individual chapter changes have accumulated). A bug report on an old chapter, or old version of the software, is clearly not of much use...

I just created a 'sticky' (permanent thread) at the top of the 'statistics & analysis help' section to provide a convenient place to post and monitor such things.

I don't see the Sticky thread for MARK book errors...

I had to take it offline, since I'd have to re-hack the code (again) to allow a 'sticky' to be 'world writable'. Given the inevitable (pending?) move to a new version of the forum code base, I'm reticent to spend a lot of time doing that sort of thing now.

So, feel free to post any typos and such as individual 'topics' on the form - at least that way the larger community will be aware of them.
