How to Tell which Printing You Have

On the copyright page (facing the first page of the Preface), there is a printing history of the book. The printing history is a row of numbers that -- at the first printing -- looks like this:

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

At each subsequent printing, one number is removed from the end of this row of numbers to indicate which printing of the book you have. For example, the last number in the row of numbers in the second printing is 2

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

In the third printing, the last number is 3, and so on.

In the errata below, we indicate the edition in which the error has been fixed inside square brackets such as [3].

For example, suppose you have the third printing. Then you can ignore all reports that are prefixed with [3] or [2]. But you would want to pay attention to all reports that are prefixed with [4] or higher or that have no bracketed prefix at all.

Figure 9 is potentially misleading. The arrow should point to the directory that contains the edu directory. Here is a better figure:

Change "int count" to "int age"

There should be another ... just before the last closing } in the class, to indicate missing methods:
public class Greeter
{
   private String name;
      // Listing private features first is not a good idea
   public Greeter(String aName)
   {
      ...
   }
   ...
}

The edges in Figure 7 from Rectangle2D.Double, Eclipse2D.Double
and Line2D.Double to Shape should be "implements" edges and not inheritance edges.
