Errata (Book Collecting)

A list of corrections to the text or contents of a completed work, often laid in or tipped into the book as a separate slip of paper, but sometimes an entire leaf attached or bound in. Errors are inevitable, and the publishers' options are, in increasing order of cost and difficulty: to do nothing (a too common practice today); next, to print and include an errata slip, indicating the error(s), its location and it's correction; next to remove the leaf or leaves in error and replace them with a cancel; and lastly, to withdraw the book and replace it with a new, more correct issue. The presence of an errata slip may be a significant point in determining the priority of issue of a given book.
