Page xii. Section II should read Part II. The book is divided into two Parts, then Chapters, then Sections.

Page 20. Not really a typo but an update. Question 1 of Exercises 2.3 should now read `was' rather than `is'. Raymond Smullyan  (1919--2017). It is worth reading the Wikipedia article on Smullyan; not many mathematicians are described as `taoists'.
MVL
Page 123. We should define a . b = n(n(a) + n(b)) since I have used n to denote the unary operation in a Robbins algebra.
MVL
Page 125. Replace `We by' by `to be'.

Page 276. Last sentence of the proof of Theorem 8.5.22. Each of the six statements is equivalent to each of the other five.

Page 381. Exercises 11.3. Question 3. The inequality to be used should be (1 + x)^n \geq 1 + nx. This is often known as Bernoulli's inequality.
