Okay, I've finished the changes to the tables. I'm not sure where to put them or who gets the final say, but I've uploaded them for perusal anyway. http://www.geocities.com/iainsmith/01-HH/crtneg.gif http://www.geocities.com/iainsmith/01-HH/crtpos.gif http://www.geocities.com/iainsmith/01-HH/random.gif I'll try to complete the initial version of the back matter this afternoon, I'll add the assess->assesses change to the Errata while I'm at it. After that I'll probably make a start reviewing the suggestions for the small illustrations, that way I can also add them to the back matter.
