If you think this table is hard to read, you're welcome to tackle my printout.

I've tried to minimise errors but, as always, some of the handwriting is hard to decode, some of the text is hidden by the binding of the original book and the bottom 2 lines have been missed off my copy. There's also some typing errors - these will be corrected as I notice them.
