Hi Guys,

  There is a small typo at the start of the "Breakable Toys" chapter. Donald Knuth's book is called "The Art of Computer Programming" and not "Computer Programming as an Art". I mention this detail only because Knuth's books are seminal works in the field, and to give the wrong attribution is, well, blasphemous. :-)

Cheers.

This was not a quote from the "The Art of Computer Programming", this was a quote from Knuth's 1974 ACM speech Computer Programming as an Art.

  Thanks for setting me straight.

Cheers,

Wilf.
