Yes, this is right; I'd recalled that we had some scans of the 
original and the corrected versions here in the files, and after a 
little hunting located them.  (They were in a folder 
called "Publications" which was inside the "Graphics" folder, so not 
terribly obvious.)

I've moved them to the main Files section:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/

They're the two files at the very bottom; one is a .gif and the other 
a .jpg:

priori-original.gif  (apparently from the Bloomsbury first edition) 
priori-s.jpg  (corrected version, from the ninth edition, not sure 
which publication)
