Kudos again to Andy for the hard work of scanning and editing still  
another well-needed book in the CHAT literature.  As for what I did,  
Andy gives me too much credit.  He sent me the original text-scans and  
I highlighted some of the inevitable glitches and errors that jumped  
out at me as I eyeballed the text - hardly a real proofreading job.  I  
am sure there are many pesky machine errors that I missed.  Also,  
Andy's text-scanning was especially well done on this book, so the  
text-scanning glitches in general were more sparse than they sometimes  
can be.

Am I correct that this is the first of two books by Davydov available  
in English?

This one, Types of Generalization in Instruction: Logical and  
Psychological Problems in the Structuring of School Curricula, was  
originally published in Russian in 1972, and first published in  
English in 1990 - yes?

The other, Problems of Developmental Instruction, was originally  
published in Russian in 1986 and has just been translated into English  
by Peter Moxhay in 2009 - yes?

- Steve
