nd any errors before chapter 19 please email them to me. ttb@thickerthanbloodthebook.com.
v0.61 6/16/2006 -- Major change here. I wrote a new chapter 1 or a chapter 0 if you like. Did a pile of detailed edits on the early chapters. I am in the process of typesetting all the thoughts into italics, I finished up through chapter 15. Thanks Jen. In addition I cleaned up the .tex file enough that the title now appears on the first page of the PDF not the second.
v0.52 5/31/2006 -- Some light edits.
v0.51 4/8/2006 -- Switched the pre-story stuff back to double space.
v0.50 4/2/2006 -- I have finally parsed a substantial pile of edits (thousands). Made further improvements in the weaker early chapters. Set up TeX to generate single spaced .pdfs for easier printing so page numbers have now radically changed -33 percent. In hoping the book is in decent shape, I am announcing version .5. I have no edits pending now so feel free to share your corrections.
v0.27 2/21/2006 - supplemental -- Sorry about the long delay between versions, I was working on the web site.
v0.26 1/29/2006 -- So now I wield a grammar checker Moo ha ha! It seems that a program called Language Tool works with Open Office 2.0. I had to check one chapter at a time but it caught lots of errors. I have a whole edited manuscript from Bobbie Peters and some edits from Giselle I want to fold in, but I thought I'd release this version for now.
v0.24 1/22/2006 -- Fixed some grammar errors submitted by Simon. Looked for some subject ownership errors document wide. Ran another pass with the spell check. I learned three grammar rules today. It's sad, but this is what happens when things like books and people are flying at your head in English class. On the bright side, I know them now. I am trainable.
v0.23 1/15/2006 -- Had to finish a few more CK stragglers. Looked for some style points, another spell check and a couple of specific grammar errors. Rewrite of an unclear passage in chapter 1.
