Joe and everyone,
It turns out that making an addendum to the original book just isn't
feasible. First is the cost. To produce an addendum as you call it, requires
another whole book to be printed and published, with a new cover. The costs of
doing that almost equal the cost of doing the update as I have done. So if
produced, the addendum would cost nearly what the updated book costs and
thus, I ask you the question.........
Would you rather pay $25 for an addendum or $30 for the whole udated book?
Then there is the choice of book or electronic version. As of now, I am
not into doing electronic editions. And in fact, I am not really attracted to
doing so. So there is the time factor to consider. Get an updated book
NOW, or wait a year or more for an electronic edition??
And lastly, the updated book has all of the articles neatly categorized
into chapters for your convenience of associating them and locating one of
interest. An addendum is really the second of two books and now there are
TWO Tables Of Contents for the reader to sort through. That, plus the fact
that typically one or the other books is sure to get misplaced or lost by
the reader.

Bob Helt
