Endnotes appear in the book, but I had to greatly reduce font size to keep book length (and thus price and shipping cost) down. I’m offering them here for a more accessible read for low-vision people (enlarge font size with your browser), with the added option of digital searchability. I had to reformat them considerably, and hope I caught all the line break errors; but if the numbering of notes skips a number, you can find it at the end of the previous note. Formatting may be a little screwy, going from Indesign to pdf to Text Edit to this page.
