These are errors in the first printing of "Programming Languages:
An Interpreter-based Approach," by Sam Kamin, Addison-Wesley, 1990.
Included are only the substantive errors, not simple typos or merely
aesthetic corrections. Errors in the second printing (a subset of
those in first printing) are listed separately below. (For reporting
a number of these typos, thanks to: Tim Budd, Chris Van Wyk.)
Errors in the table of contents and, especially, the index are too
numerous to list. The main problem in the index is that page numbers in
the appendices are almost all too high, by an average of two pages.
Read "->" as "should be changed to". One case of this is `-> ""',
which means "should be deleted".
p. vi, "Overview" section, l. 1: "?" -> "1979"
p. 14, l. -11: "FUNDEF" -> "f: FUNDEF"
p. 32, l. -5: "Coli" -> "coli"
p. 59, "Further reading" section, last line: "Reingold [1988]" ->
"Reingold and Reingold [1988]"
p. 62, l. 2: "The interpreter" -> "The new version of the meta-circular
interpreter"

dyadic operation,"

p. 126, line "(sum (f (car l)) (loop (cdr l))...)": delete three closing
parentheses
p. 139, l. -14, -12, -10: on each line, second arrow show be star,

p. 616, middle: "[1988] R. Sethi" -> "[1989] R. Sethi"
Errors in second printing (that is, errors that weren't caught
before the second printing). This list is a subset of the list above:
p. 70, l. -2: Sentence should read: "What happened here is that
only the result of comparing the first elements of the two vectors
was checked by the if, though ..."
p. 98: l. 10: "page 15" -> "page 13"
lines -9, -8 use a notation for vector x that's only defined on p. 254

"(find-val pred (cdr ilis) (+1 100))"
