If you have a copy you can now find a list of typos online -
go to

www.ams.org/bookstore?fn=20&arg1=gsmseries&item=GSM-97

and click on the "Supplementary Material". (The one that
really bothers me is this: The "f" in Theorem B in Chapter
20 should be "u".)

I suppose that you have better things to do than correcting the typos
from your list of typos,

Heh. Thanks. But:

but here it goes:

1) The full stops at the end of the corrections concerning the pages 273
and 373 are misplaced.

Probably everyone but me would agree with that, but the placement
is intentional. Those entries read:

p. n, l. m:

display_1

should be

display_2

..

Here I'm using $$...$$ as means of _quotation_. The period
in question is not part of what display_1 should be changed
to, so it doesn't belong in display_2.

2) At the header of each page after the first one you wrote ". Errata".
My guess is that you meant to write just "Errata".

Heh. I never typed ". Errata" - I was formatting the thing as a
"chapter" using the tex things they provided, in order to get
the horizontal bars at the top of the pages, etc, and the period
appeared automatically (because there was no chapter number;
with a chapter number it would have been "n. Errata".)

There must be a way to fix that, but I couldn't motivate
myself to spend enough time looking for it. (Hmm, maybe
I could just use XXX or something for the chapter number...)

3) The minuses signs concerning line numbers (as in "p. 239, l. -1") are
not actually minuses signs (they are hyphens) but they should be.

I suppose...
