The copy presented here incorporates minor typographical corrections, and the figure 4121 on page 8 is correct only in so far as it accurately reflects the list given in EG 122; the true total is 4128, and there was a corrective note in a later EG. Additionally, Noam Elkies has found further settings of the Thomas à Becket theme (see British Endgame Study News, December 2009, page 443), and he has produced an elegant non-joke version of study 6.2 (see Variant Chess 63, page 170).
