This might be a weird quest and in the wrong section but does anyone know of a list with errors and corrections for the book "Advanced Calculus" by Taylor & Mann 3rd ed?

Thanks

Since the text is 29 years old, both the authors died a number of years ago and Google searches for
errata "Advanced Calculus" Taylor Mann
turn up nothing likely I'm thinking your chances are not good.

You might contact the publisher,
http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0471025666.html
be really really REALLY polite and see if you can convince them to take a few minutes of their time to see if they have any record of an errata.
 
i thought since the book is so popular somebody has compiled a list of errata and corrections, at least by professors at universities where the book is a course text...
