      * Content: In Figure 10.5, the right-most node should be labled as 'k' instead of 't'.

      * Content: h_i(t_i) = min ... should be negative, otherwise we will just subtract even more from the agents' utility and worsen individual rationality

      * Content: "<span style="background-color: transparent;">The only way in which the declaration vˆi</span> <div id="_mcePaste">influences the maximization above</div> <div id="_mcePaste">is through the term v_i(x (\hat{v}))." This isn't quite true, is it? \hat{v}_i influences the result of x(\hat{v}) and thus also the term \sum_{j \neq i} x(\hat{v}). Nonetheless i has to set v_i = \hat{v}_i to obtain a maximizer for its best response.</div>

      * Content: Remove "kidney exchanges" from the list in the first paragraph of 10.6.4. Kidney exchange apparently isn't quite a two-sided matching problem; see, e.g., footnote 11 of Roth, Sönmezc, Ünverd, "Pairwise kidney exchange", J. Econ Theory, 125 (2005) 151 – 188.

      * Name: Sasha Rubin
      * Content: The proof of non-blocking in Theorem 10.6.11 does not deal with the case that \mu(s) = \emptyset. Thus, replace "he must have applied to her before having applied to his match" by "he must have applied to her".
