Corrections

Due to a software error during printing, a few minor sections of the book did not get printed.

Known "errors" include:

 3rd page of press release (first page of book inside front cover) is not missing; it was not important and we did not include it.

 Pages 15, 61: should read "references and notes."

 p. 66, 67 are missing a few paragraphs. As soon as feasible, we will post an update at www.essentialfats.com/efabook.htm.

 Pages after A28 in the appendix have no page numbers.

If you find other errors, please email us at efabook@essentialfats.com.

However, if you find other missing pages, this is a different error found in a few copies of our book. If you got a copy without the update, call or write to us identifying the specific pages missing, and we will send you an update.
