Reports of errors in the book are always welcome. Reports of errors in the book which are accompanied by a suggested fix for the problem are even better. For technical fixes (spelling, grammar, markup, etc.), just include with your error-reporting email a patch against the XML sources (and include the word [PATCH] in the subject line). For more subjective concerns about the tone or comprehensibility of a passage, it’s best just raise that topic on the mailing list.

Are Those Turtles?

Why, yes, they are, indeed, turtles. That’s the animal chosen by the publisher for our book cover. And before you ask us, “Why?” — we don’t really know. It’s cool, and our wives are pleased that at least something “icky” wasn’t chosen to represent Subversion.
