Gary -

I am curious to see if some of the misprints/mistakes in the 2004 edition of
the Opperman book have since been corrected.

The two most obvious glaring errors are found:

- on page 11, the 4th fingering choice for throat Bb. For this fingering,
the 3rd right hand trill key should be colored in. In my edition, it is not.

- on page 37, the fingering shown for A#/Bb is wrong. The book is showing
the fingering for G#/Ab (??)

There are other small errors, but those two are the most glaring...
