Eric's Crib is now corrected
Eric Ferguson · Jan. 15, 2016, 12:21 a.m.
Dear Joan,
Thanks; my crib has now been corrected. Please be precise in naming cribs, Eric’s cribs are NOT Minicribs; that is a different and bigger crib collection now maintained by David Haynes and his team.
But next time please respect the remark at the top of this form. “Reviews” are NOT meant to point out errors; for that use the “Submit Comment” button below each crib. Those messages go straight to the crib authors. Eric Ferguson, Zeist, Netherlands.
