Double the Reward for Errors in _Disappearing Cryptography_

I'm working on a second edition of _Disappearing Cryptography_, a
book about steganography and anonymity on-line. Last week, I offered
a $10 reward for anyone who reports the technical errors in the first
edition to me. This week I'm doubling the reward to $20 per error.
Why? Because I've only gotten one report. That means there are either
few errors or the incentive isn't large enough. So let's try again.
Here are the rules:
*) Only the first person to report an error wins a prize. This is the
only way to avoid many people submitting the same error again and
again and again. I reserve the right to pay duplicate prizes to
people who appear to have submitted a duplicate in good faith. (The
only one reported is on page 27 in a sentence describing the Euler
Totient Function.)
*) I reserve the right to decide the size of an error. If
misspellings counted, spelling someone's name incorrectly throughout
the entire book would only count as one error.
*) First person is judged by the time the error arrives in my
mailbox, pcw at flyzone.com.
*) Only technical errors count. Grammar and spelling errors could
bankrupt me, even after the copy editing fixes 99%.
*) Please submit the page number.
*) Please let me know if you want your name included in the thanks at
the beginning of the book.
Thank you. You're free to forward this offer to any other list.
