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.
