While I have done my absolute best to give credit where credit is due, it’s possible I missed a few things. If you find anything that I have misrepresented or have forgotten, please let me know by e-mail ([email protected]), and I will get it updated as soon as possible. In addition to the references on the pages to come, you can find a full list of updated references and corrections at buildingthebestbook.com/references.
