 Please email [http://www.errorbar.net/contact Eli Bishop] with questions or suggestions.  There's a lot to write about in this book, and many people will have thoughts about the same things; please don't feel bad if I don't use your comment or if I paraphrase it or use someone else's version. If people have different opinions on the meaning of something, I'll try to include them all, within reason.
