Corrections

• In the spring 2005 Market Tabloid, Arc Com's Royal Garden collection was not designed by Glenn Peckman (Fabric, page 70).

• In "Snaps," numbers 7 and 8 should have been swapped (May, page 345).

• In "Matters of Design," the design programs announced by Finland and Norway were not following Sweden's lead; the two countries initiated their own programs independently (June, page 142).
