Over the many years since I first had these annotations posted online, a number of people have contacted me to give me further information or to correct me errors or oversights. I am always delighted to see that people have spent enough time with the annotation - and with the original novel - to send me these comments, and I continue to welcome them.
In the next few weeks, I will be updating the annotations to reflect these
changes, additions, and corrections. I will also list the contributors
of these changes here.
First, I have to thank David Wald, who has hosted the annotations (in
their original text format) on his
website since 1994. During much of that time, I had no place to host
the annotations in any form, and I'm very thankful for his service in
making and keeping the annotations available online.
