A reward from Sir Donald

Dear Mr Ghose,

Many thanks for your extremely helpful note. [...]

I owe you the customary "reward check", because these corrections
affect pages of The Art of Computer Programming. To what snail-mail
address should the check be sent?

Cordially,
Don Knuth

w00t!

Update: I received the cheque today! Check my flickr page for a scan of the cheque.

    Congratulations.

    I stumbled here via. the image you uploaded to Wikipedia. I’m curious (like many of the previous commenters are) as to what the errors were. Finding 4 errors in a book by the meticulous Knuth is indeed an achievement. :)
