Last week was intensive - hard work yet satisfying: I completed a painstaking check of the page proofs and submitted a tidy stack of corrections at the weekend ... so now I look forward to hearing from you and other readers about the remaining errors that evidently escaped my notice and ended up in print.

This week, I am correcting my working copy of the hyperglossary for the errors located by proofreading that were in my original manuscript submitted back in May (oops), as opposed to those accidentally created by the editors and typesetters (who have a tough job!).  On top of that, I'm continuing to add new entries as they emerge from the mists.  Not so intensive, the routine maintenance counts as fun for this self-confessed word-geek.  

I'm not sure, yet, how to handle corrections, additions and other changes post-publication.  What do you think?  Ideas welcome.

Kind regards/Ngā mihi,

Boardgames do this by having a published errata on the website.

You could do the same; maintain a digital errata PDF that acts as supplementary to the book – but then also when Edition 2 is ready, you can incorporate the errata.

The errata would always need to be published, as obviously people’s first edition books will not change; but you could stop maintaining an errata for first edition, and if applicable, only maintain an errata for second edition.

 

Kind Regards,

My favorite (from my first book) was when the typesetters "corrected" "80x86" (those old enough to remember pre-Pentium Intel CPUs will understand) to "80[multiplication sign]86."

I maintained the dictionary in HTML, and did this when it was published.  (Unfortunately, they never did publish a second edition ...)

Thanks guys.

Yes, some form of online corrections/amendment thing for the published book is a good idea Joel.  

A second edition depends on how well the first is received by the community, and sales of course.  But I already know for sure there will be plenty of changes and who-knows-how-many newly-coined terms to add.  Keeping up is all part of the fun!

Kind regards/Ngā mihi,

PS  Rob I'm just popping out on the number four[multuplication sign]number four farm bike to check on the animals.
