Where this article begins and ends was corrected by hand; the text itself is still machine-read: on 4 November 2026 the Book Notes page of no.266 was split into 3 records, one per review or notice, cut from the machine reading at the scan's headings; the section's opening order note stays with the first review, its closing 'free listing' note with the last; p.36 (house adverts) dropped. Only the Shachtman review is signed ('[Reviewed by Ann Henderson]')
