My robotics text book is selling so well that the publishers are
planning a reprint later this year.

	Introduction to Robotics,
	Phillip John McKerrow,
	Addison-Wesley Publishers
	811 pages, 1991
	ISBN 0-201-18240-8

I have found a few typos in the book and I am about to start another
proof read.  I have found that others are better at finding typos
and math typesetting errors than I am.  If you have found any errors
I will greatly appreciate it if you can send me details either by email
or fax.  I hope to make my book better by removing all the errors
that we can find.

I appologise for any errors in my book.  I have found 4 sources
of errors in publishing a book:

1.	When I proof read I tend to read what I think I have written
	rather than what is on the page.
2.	The publisher decided to re type the whole manuscript, even
	though I supplied them with electronic copy.  The equations
	had to be reset, but retyping the text introduced errors.
3.	The copy editing left a lot to be desired. This is my only
	complaint with the publisher.
4.	My poor spelling.

Thank you for your interest.  If anyone wants a list of corrections
please email me and I will send you a complete list in a couple of months
when I have finished compiling them.

Thankyou
	Phillip McKerrow
