An erratum is a correction inserted into a book after publication. It's a nice thing to collect because you can't go after them, you just come upon them. In 25 years I've only found about 12.

E-books present the greatest opportunity readers have ever had to find each other. It's a chance for stories written for paper to find new life and a chance for new stories to appear, freed from the constraints of paper publishing.
What counts is putting the intensity that you yourself have experienced into the picture. Otherwise it is just a document.
'Your Erroneous Zones' was the book that went over the top simply because I believed in it so much.
I once made a check of all books in my fourth-grade classroom. Of the slightly more than six hundred books, almost one quarter had been published prior to the bombing of Hiroshima; 60 percent were either ten years old or older.
You're not a historian, but most historians will tell you that they make very discrete judgment as to what facts to omit in order to make their book into some shape, some length that can be managed.
Ironically, the more intensive and far-reaching a historian's research, the greater the difficulty of citation. As the mountain of material grows, so does the possibility of error.
An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains.
The study of error is not only in the highest degree prophylactic, but it serves as a stimulating introduction to the study of truth.
Erudition - dust shaken out of a book into an empty skull.
A hallucination is a fact, not an error; what is erroneous is a judgment based upon it.
