Corrections to first print of UNM
« on: January 05, 2012, 05:04:42 PM »
As promised I have uploaded the important corrections to the first print run of the Ultimate Navigation Manual on this website's Resource Page.

I have not listed the spelling mistakes, instead simply corrected them for this next print run.

There is nothing that is going to make you fall off a cliff  ;) nevertheless they have annoyed me >:( so my apologies :-*.

Well if that was all the outdoor magic and other pendantic could find in a 350 odd page manual then well done to you.  :)

Lyle

As usual, I'm being dense but where is the Resource Page?

Hugh,

Its off the main site - top Right Hand Icon, and then scroll down to the book cover .  Or...

Credit to you Lyle for 'fessing up'

The more I use the UNM the better it gets, most of the kids after attending our courses request a copy of it (we loan them one whilst here) and as they say children are the ultimate arbitrators ;)

Congratulations Lyle!

These amendments make an excellent book even better! Only a truly 'big' man, who is a world expert in his subject and has nursed his baby for so long, would be willing to publish corrections so soon after publication.

Credit to you Lyle for publishing these so early after the books launch, it confirms your stated motives of safer navigation for all.

Nice words Hugh and big man you too, I know that you took some flak, unfairly, on another forum (which pallors in my opinion compared to this one), so all credit to you.

We agree, this book has not only introduced us to competent navigation, it also inspires us to venture further.
