Page 714, Table 2.110: The lower bound for r = 9, q = 16 has been improved from 128 to 129 by Axel Konert. Also, Simeon Ball is maintaining an online version of this table at http://www-ma4.upc.es/~simeon/codebounds.html. Axel Kohnert (Axel.Kohnert@uni-bayreuth.de) Nov. 2006.
Page 743, Table 5.26: LF(14) = 98758655816833727741338583040. This was computed by Patric Ostergard and Petteri Kaski. Petteri Kaski (petteri.kaski@cs.helsinki.fi), Sept. 2007.
