The first printing of ``Object-Oriented Software Construction''
contained a number of misprints which were corrected (at least
most of them, I hope) in the second printing. Most misprints
were fairly obvious but may still be annoying.

Below is an errata sheet which should be of interest to anyone
who has a copy of the first printing. To see which printing
you have, look at the byline at the end of the preface; ``January
1988'' means first printing, ``July 1988'' second.
