Errors in textbooks seem to be inevitable. Our response is to establish a way for you to report them. As an incentive for finding and reporting errors, we pay $5.00 to the first person who reports it. In addition, we'll list your name and school and the error, with its correction, that you found at this website.
Students can come here and note all the fixes in their book. Errors found so far are listed below. Corrections that have no attribution were identified by someone at Outcrop Publishers.
The errors listed were all in the first printing of the book. Most were corrected in the second or third printing. (The left-most number, in the first group of numbers, at the bottom of page iv of your print book is the printing number.)
If you find an error, email us at info@outcroppublishers.com and include your school. Thanks in advance.
