*Page 12*
   * "as we say in Figure 1.4 ... " => The caption of Fig 1.4 doesn't say this, but the statement can be infered from the bottom right figure. Maybe "as we show" is better?

*Page 13*
   * Caption of Fig 1.5: add "/N" to the formula for E_{RMS}
   * close to the end: "In Figure 1.6. We see that" => "In Figure 1.6, we see that"

*Page 14*
   * caption of Fig 1.6: "least squares" was not used before (unless I missed it). I think a short explanation what is meant by it would be good.

*Page 15*
   * Fig 1.7 left: "ln \lambda = -18" => "ln \lambda = -20"
   * Table 1.2: "ln \lambda = -18" => "ln \lambda = -20"

*Page 16*
   * middle: "pattern recognition" was not used before (unless I missed it). I think a short explanation what is meant by it would be good.
   * close to end: "information ambiguous" => "information is ambiguous"

*Page 19*
   * close to end: "In the top left is a histogram" => "In the top right is a histogram"

*Page 23*
   * "several continuous variables x_1, ... x_d" => "several continuous variables x_1, ... x_D"

*Page 25*
   * middle: "the chosen box was the blue one" => "the chosen box was the red one" (blue is not bad, but the discussion was about the red box)

*Page 26*
   * middle: "consider a the distribution" => remove "a" or "the"

*Page 27*
   * middle: after "common sense is violated", there's a question mark
   * middle: "context of of polynomial" => "context of polynomial"
   * in Laplace box: "he was also made" => "he has also made" (I think it would be nicer to swap Bayes box and Laplace box, because we first here about Bayes in the text, and Laplace is somehow hidden).

*Page 29*
   * middle: "X = (x_1 ..." => X should be in bold and not italic, for vector
   * middle: "n=1,...N" => I think it shouldn't be there at all, we don't use n before 1.46, where it's clear what it is
   * middle: "from a Gaussian distribution" => I think it would be more clear: "from a univariate Gaussian distribution", because we just talked about multi-variate.

*Page 32*
   * just before 1.2.5: "likelihood liesat the root" => "likelihood lies at the root"
   * bottom: it's a bit confusing that the presicion, which was denoted by lambda on page 28, is now denoted by beta. Maybe one of them can be changed, or maybe a little explanation would do.

*Page 34* 
   * 3rd line: "parameters called" => "parameters are called"

*Page 36*
   * second last line: "by a factor of M" => shouldn't it be "by a factor of S"?

*Page 40*
   * Fig 1.20: it would be nice to add M1, M2 and M3 above the corresponding curve

*Page 50*
   * Fig 1.29: in my printing I see "re ect region" (j is missing)

*Page 63*
   * 2nd line above the equation (1.114): f(lamda a + ... => right parenthesis missing
