Many thanks, Michael, for this reassurance.

I assume it would not be all that easy to make corrections to the PDF  
version of Bordwell's book (for which, incidentally, I am very  
grateful), but it would be helpful, and perhaps not so difficult, to  
compile a list of corrigenda in a file designed to accompany the  
online version of the book.
