People seem surprised to find errors in The QuarkXPress Book and Real World QuarkXPress, as though a book about publishing could somehow escape the fates. While I pride myself in my accuracy, I ultimately have to admit that a 950-page book is going to have a few erors in it. Fortunately, I can make amends here. In fact, if you find mistakes or typos, I encourage you to e-mail me about them at qxbook@moo.com.

Note that some of these "anomolies" may be fixed in later printings of the book, so they may not be relevant to you, depending on when you purchased your copy.

• Index. Something went really, really wrong at the last minute, and after Real World QuarkXPress 6 was proofed the index was replaced with an older version--so almost every page number in the first printing's index is incorrect. I can't tell you how embarassed and sorry I am about this mistake. It's the first time in my 14 years of writing books that this has happened. Sigh. Please accept my apology and download a PDF of the correct index here.
