Links to GIF files of the corrected pages are provided for quick viewing with your WWW browser. The files may be used for printing the corrections and inserting them to the book, although you have to be a little bit of a computer expert to do this. On a 300 dot-per-inch printer the printout should be quite similar to the book's original layout. The trick is to find a way to tell your browser to print the pictures with the right resolution. If nothing else works download the .GIF files (a "right click" gives you this option on most systems) and feed them to a graphics viewer program that has flexible printing options.
