Could you post an errata pdf on your webpage if possible.

Hi Peter,

This is an easy task, there are currently only two errata on my list:

Errata for The Binocular Handbook

Cheers,

Impressive, I will make the corrections to my copy! You have some very attentive proofreaders.

They may be using AI-driven software to do the proofreading, it doesn't get tired and maintains a low error rate.

Cheers,
Holger

To check is the second erratum a replacement of a comma by a full stop or the change of a value of 1.80 to 2.25?? Line 12 doesn’t sort of agree to either?

The error is simply the degree symbol after 2.25.

Oh thanks, these are actually news to me, since Springer hasn't contacted me regarding the softcover version! It definitely has to come with the same content as the original hardcover, since Springer has not yet requested me to submit an updated manuscript. I will contact them, perhaps I could at least eliminate a few errors that have been found since the first publication.

Cheers,
Holger

Thank you very much for the reply!
If some small corrections will be made, it would be great for the errata to be available for download, for prior buyers.

You are right, though it seems that no changes to the text are going to be implemented right now. Springer is referring to the second edition which will be prepared as soon as the content is being increased by 20% or more. It will take some time ...

Cheers,
