Buerger", title = "{\LaTeX} for Engineers and Scientists", publisher = MH, year = "1990", ISBN = "0-07-008845-4", } \end{verbatim} \begin{description} \item[p. 13, l. -10] ``and tables of contents entries (see Chapter 10).'' This is incorrect; those entries are stored in the \verb|.toc| file. \item[p. 15, l. 2] The text should further remark that the three symbols \verb|~|, \verb|^|, and \verb|\| are also special; they normally occur as themselves only in simulated keyboard input (see p. 32); otherwise, \LaTeX{} assigns special meaning to them (tilde: p. 19, caret: p. 44, backslash: p. 14). \item[p. 16, l. -6] ``\verb|\copyright 1989|'' should be ``\verb|\copyright 1990|'' \item[p. 38, l. -4] The intent here was to illustrate the effect of omitting the italic correction; the point was lost because of a line break between the two words. It should have been coded as \verb|\mbox{{\em quickly} over}| in the manuscript. \item[p. 40, l. -14] ``are are only'' should be ``are only''. \item[p. 41, l. -10] \verb|documentstyle| should be \verb|\documentstyle| for consistency with usage elsewhere. \item[p. 69, l. 15] ``\verb|.aux| file'' should be ``\verb|.toc| file'' \item[p. 80, l. 13] ``, except for the last field in each record.''. A comma after the last item is permitted, and useful in that it is consistent with earlier items, and won't invalidate the entry if the items are later reordered, or additional ones inserted. \item[p. 95, l. -8] ``\verb|| directories at {\tt score.\-stanford.\-edu}'' should be ``\verb|~|{\tt{}ftp/\-pub} directories at {\tt labrea.\-stanford.\-edu}''; \verb|score| was retired in August 1989, and \verb|labrea| is now the home of the master \TeX{} archives. \item[p. 110, l. 8] ``Tables 10.1 and 10.2'' should be ``Figures 10.1 and 10.2''. \item[p. 184, l. 3] ``the AW combination has more space'' should be ``the AW combination has less space''. \item[p. 198, l. -1] ``LaTeX'' should be ``\LaTeX{}''. \end{description} \end{document}
