Mary,
I don't really know how to answer this. Yes, there were lots of errors that she has now corrected. 885 pages is a really big book. Those errors really couldn't have been caught by proofreaders unless they were involved in "computerizing" the templates like we were. My understanding is that there wasn't a comprehensive "list" kept by the publishers to let us all know which pages were edited. Maybe the cheapest way of "updating" the first printings would be to purchase the .pdf version of the book from Footnote.com if they still sell it.

My questions are - If Geoff made suggestions of "passages to polish" before the next printing, how much of the original publication, purchased by many of us, has errors? Does anyone know if those corrections will be available to those who own the first printing? Mary From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gail Nestor Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 7:49 AM To: Legacy User Group Subject: [LegacyUG] Kudos to Geoff! Hi everyone, I couldn't help but copy this message from Elizabeth Shown Mills to the APG (Associated Professional Genealogists) list last night. It sounds like her latest book, _Evidence Explained_ (EE for short), had some great input and influence from Legacy's own Geoff Rasmussen! I have renewed confidence that the new sourcing capabilities will be exactly what the customers need: something easy to use for beginners and something with as much sophistication as needed by professionals and other serious genealogists. Thanks Legacy for taking the time needed to ensure v7 will be something truly wonderful. I can't wait to take another serious look at my sources with a new eye! Gail Rich Nestor Smyrna, GA www.roots2buds.net <http://www.roots2buds.net/> Elizabeth's message (intermingled with the comments from another APG member): >BRAVA Elizabeth. Thanks, Kathy--and Betty, for posting the GPC announcement. One sentence in that announcement is important--or at least the last four words of this snippet from the sentence: >Mrs. Mills' 2007 publication, the distillation of years of her own and her colleagues' research experience .... EE would not have been possible without the contributions of *many* from this list--many who shared their resources, many others who pushed me outside my comfort zone to learn new materials I did not daily use, and others who helped with more technical aspects. In addition to all those mentioned in the acknowledgments, I should add one more--Geoff Rasmussen of Legacy--who, post-publication, combed the volume with a fresh and wonderfully critical eye, finding passages to polish before the new printing went to press last month. No work is ever perfect, but thanks to Geoff's meticulous effort, the new printing should be--in the words of the late, great genealogist, Ge Lee Corley Hendrix, CG, FASG--"more better" :).
