Extremely envious of this! I don't own a copy of Art of Computer Programming, so I did spend a not-insignificant amount of reading through some of Knuth's other writings trying to find mistakes that no one else has found, and I came up empty handed. There might be mistakes ripe for the picking in there, but I'm afraid I'm not quite smart enough to find them.

Still, a guy can dream. If I ever pick up Art of Computer Programming I might give it a go again.

I was fortunate that Knuth wrote a book on a topic which I have studied deeply, _Digital Typography_:

My correction is for pg. 33, and there was a minor point of improvement which I can't find.

Very cool!

He just needs to write a book on obscure cartoon history, and I'll be shoe-in. Until then I think I will just have to deal with living in envy.

You are aware that his first publication was in _Mad Magazine_?

(scroll down to "System of Measurement")

I was not aware of that. That's a fun fact that I did not expect to learn today.

be a good person and post some pictures about both so we can refer to it someday. For science !

I have a letter from Knuth as well as a letter from Erdos. I've been hanging onto these.
