This is a known problem. When the book was first scanned back in 2001, there were four image files which contained the wrong page:

b0273.tiff
b0280.tiff
d0057.tiff
d0605.tiff

The problem wasn't detected until after OCR had been done on all the pages.

I'm in the process of fixing this. I re-scanned those pages, and the new image files are the ones which can now be downloaded as TIFFs.

The online text, however, still reflects the scanning errors. I've already done OCR on the re-scanned TIFF files, but this new text hasn't yet been incorporated into the master version. There is some work involved in converting the text to the right format.

I will get to this, but it's probably better if I give higher priority to the global corrections right now. The sooner I do the global corrections, the less work the hand corrections are for everybody.
