Re: [Axiom-developer] A PDF version of the book

[Eugene Surowitz]

I just downloaded the pdf file that David Mentre produced.

There is a Tex Typo on page 14 (New Foreword);
the second paragraph contains the word "re-implementation" in quotes;
the left quotation mark looks like we had  "\rq\rq" instead of "\lq\lq" 
in the source file.
In other words the opening of the quotation is made with closing 
quotation marks!

Cheers, Eugene Surowitz
