• p. iv: The ISBN number is misprinted here. The correct number appears on the back cover (978-0-387-79710-6).


• p. 122, line −1: In the statement of Theorem 1.66, change "n" to "p".


• p. 137, exercise 12(c): Change "151155" to "51155".


• p. 151, line −10: Change "six" to "seven".


• p. 159, line 19: Change the second "24" to "17".


• p. 162, ex. 4: Change "250" to "230" in the second sentence.


• p. 165, eqn. (2.31): This list shows the arrangements assuming three red beads, four green beads, and five blue beads, so the roles of g and b have been reversed. So either interchange "blue" and "green" here (and in ex. 2 on p. 166, which refers here), or change rbbbbb to rggggg and gbbbbb to gggggb in (2.31).


• p. 335, third paragraph: The phrase "and the society (J, W) has a unique solution" should be "and every matching for the society (J, W) is bijective".


• p. 335, line −4: For the case \alpha = \beta + 1, append "+ 1" to the definition of q( f ).
