I did all the exercises.  Granted, I'm probably not as excellent
programmer as you. ;-)

I think all books have bugs until they're proof read a million times.
If this were a new language, we'd see a better chance of a second
release.

Since the book is apparently available for free download as PDF,
probably should have it's own wiki page documenting corrections as well
as containing wiki pages for other explanations.

Everything is being wiki-fied these days.  Can't wait for my old
underwear to be wiki-fied! :-)
