Maybe, who is the publisher?

Why don't you email them to bs@research.att.com.

I have emailed erratta to Bjarne Stroustrup in the past.
He has always been gracious in discussing them.
At least one of the errata that I pointed out had not yet been
added to the errata list, so he added it, and sent me a copy.

Also, if memory serves me correctly, there are errata of his
other books at research.att.com, which are available by ftp.
I have not checked recently if there is an eratta list for the D&E book.

I somewhat hesitate to do that.  Firstly because I think he already
gets enough Email, and secondly because I'm not quite sure about what
I found.

Especially, I need some clarification about pp. 359f:

> template <class T> class basic_string {
>   // ...
> };

> template <class T, class C = CMP<T> >
> int compare (const basic_string<T>&, const basic_string<T>&);

> typedef basic_string<char> string;

> void f (string swede1, string swede2) {

I think this contradicts with page 351:

> void g (Array<float>& a) {
>   f<float> (a);
>   f<double> (a);
>   f<Quad> (a);
> }

Thus page 351 indicates that you specify explicit function template
arguments with angle brackets, whereas the "compare" function above
seems to use an additional function argument for that. Shouldn't page
360 read

void f (string swede1, string swede2) {
  compare (swede1, swede2);
  compare<char, LITERATE> (swede1, swede2);
}

I think I found some errors in Stroustrup's new book "The Design and
Evolution of C++", but I'm not quite sure.  Is there an errata list
out there?
