Readers Comments:

"Woohoo, I received my book this weekend and can hardly put it down." G.S.

In proofing the actual book, some typographical and other errors were found despite several of us working very hard to make sure they didn't occur. Most do not materially affect my intended meaning. The bold headings below indicate where the original text is found; the intended text below is the corrected text. I will update this as I go through the book. The Errata is also available in PDF format for easy printing.

Entries marked with an * indicate that the printed version currently differs significantly from the intended version.

"I haven't even begun to get through it yet, but it looks very informative. The layout is nice and clear, which is really an essential if a new ig owner is going to perservere and find out everything they need." A.M.
