| Plate A and C | the graphics have been interchanged (early printings only) | 2-may-08 | Malcolm Levitt |
| Plate A | the spin-1/2 isotope of iron is 57Fe, not 52Fe | 9-may-11 | Olaf Dietrich |
| Plate C | The isotope 43Ca is missing: Spin 7/2, stable isotope, isotopic abundance: 0.14 % | 21-feb-13 | Olaf Dietrich |
| Plates A to C | Several unstable and radioactive isotopes are not indicated as such. Details here. | 21-feb-13 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 1 | "cement" is mentioned twice | 24-aug-08 | Oleg Antzutkin |
| 7 | It is stated several times that the "azimuthal quantum number" is a synonym for the "magnetic quantum number". This is not correct. The "azimuthal quantum number" is actually a synonym of the "angular momentum quantum number". "Azimuthal" should be replaced by "magnetic" in three places. | 12-nov-15 | Luther Wang |
| 8 | Half-way down the page, the reference to note 2 should point to note 3. | 2-feb-09 | Steven Brown |
| 10 | There are two references to note 4 which should point to note 5. | 2-feb-09 | Steven Brown |
| 11 | The proton and neutron mass values in table 1.1 are both too large by a factor of 10. The powers of 10 should be -27, instead of -26. For accurate values, see for example pdg.lbl.gov | 08-june-10 | Jiri Bocan |
| 14 | A reference to note 6 should point to note 7. | 2-feb-09 | Steven Brown |
| 16 and following | The term isotopomer should be replaced by isotopologue throughout the book. Isotopologue is the more general term, referring to any isotopic substitution of a nucleus in a molecule. Strictly speaking, isotopologues are only isotopomers if the overall numbers of all isotopes are the same. For example, 13CH312CH2OH and 12CH313CH2OH are isotopomers (and also isotopologues), while 13CH312CH2OH and 12CH312CH2OH are isotopologues (but not isotopomers). | 27-sep-09 | Michael Tayler |
| 35 | In figure 2.22, the sign of the Mx component should be inverted | 10-dec-12 | Eddy Dib |
| 43 | After Table 3.1, the text should state that the probability of a Si nucleus having mass number 28 is around 0.922. | 07-may-12 | Benjamin Walker |
| 44 | After figure 3.10, "the proton peak.. mainly from isotopomers I and IV" should read "the proton peak.. mainly from isotopomer I". | 21-dec-09 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 49 | The projection of the bottle in Fig.3.20 corresponds to a magnetic field gradient with a linear variation in field intensity from left to right, rather than top to bottom, as stated. | 03-feb-14 | Tim Rehm |
| 50 | The projection of the ring in Fig.3.22 and 3.23 is inaccurate. An accurate calculation is given here. | 28-nov-13 | Tran Pham |
| 52 | For all three figures 3.26, 3.27 and 3.28, the unit "Hz" has been omitted from the frequency scale. | 21-dec-09 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 53 | The unit "Hz" has been omitted from the frequency scale of figure 3.29 | 21-dec-09 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 58 | The unit "Hz" has been omitted from the frequency scale of figure 3.36. The frequency symbol on the axis should be upper case Ω. | 21-dec-09 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 61 | the exercise listed as 3.2 is actually a subtext to exercise 3.1. Exercise 3.3 is actually 3.2, and 3.4 is actually 3.3. | 29-july-08 | Pete Mustonen |
| 65 | the word "distribution" has been mistyped | 21-dec-09 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 91 | The gradient pulses should not overlap the signal detection in Figure 5.9. In addition, the Gaussian shape of the gradient pulses is unusual. Gradient pulses usually have a sine-bell or rectangular shape. | 06-nov-11 | Ralph Adams |
| 99 | Replace ω by Ω in the left-hand side of Equation 5.18. | 25-jul-11 | Danny Mitchell |
| 99 | The caption to Figure 5.21 should read "An NMR spectrum with two components. This is the Fourier transform of the signal in Figure 5.15." | 3-nov-08 | David Bryce |
| 100 | The caption to Figure 5.22 should read "An NMR spectrum with four components. This is the Fourier transform of the signal in Figure 5.16." | 3-nov-08 | David Bryce |
| 104 | The line above Figure 5.30 should read "A five-peak spectrum.." | 3-nov-08 | David Bryce |
| 107 | The unit "kHz" has been omitted from both frequency scales of figure 5.34. | 21-dec-09 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 108 | The third line from the end should refer to Equation 5.25, not Equation 5.35. | 3-nov-08 | David Bryce |
| 117 | incorrect graphics for exercise 5.1. Pick up replacement graphics here. | 28-may-08 | Rishi Mukhopadhyay |
| 134 | The line above Eq.6.25 states that a square matrix may always be written in the diagonalized form. This is incorrect. Some square matrices cannot be diagonalized. | 25-sep-09 | Rick Spencer |
| 141 | Note #2 should be corrected to "An operator is 'small' if both its trace, and the largest difference between its eigenvalues, are much less than 1". | 11-nov-13 | Tran Pham |
| 146 | In the last equation on the page, the term L2 is missing from the denominator. | 21-dec-09 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 175 | In the line after Eq.8.7, the reference should be to Appendix A.7. | 2-feb-09 | Steven Brown |
| 184 | "molecule" is misspelt in Figure 8.18. | 20-june-08 | Jeff Reimer |
| 195 | The "flow of electrons" arrows point in the wrong direction. The arrows show the flow of positive current - the negatively charged electrons move in the opposite sense. | 3-june-09 | David Siminovitch |
| 200 | In the caption to figure 9.5, the author should be T. Vosegaard. | 2-feb-09 | Steven Brown |
| 200 | The expression for Rj(Θ)-1 is incorrect. The corrected version is here. Note that an earlier correction listed here, in which I stated that the matrices Rj(Θ) and Rj(Θ)^{-1} should be exchanged, was itself incorrect.

| 212 | In the line after equation 9.32, the units of the gyromagnetic ratios are rad s-1 T-1, not rad s-1. | 15-feb-09 | Jan Rainey |
| 221 | error in figure 9.29 (bottom-right panel). Pick up replacement graphic here. | 02-feb-09 | Steven Brown |

| 260 | the central two coefficients are exchanged in the last row of Eq.11.2. | 29-july-08 | Pete Mustonen |
| 260 | In the last part of the page, the discussion of the "most likely outcome" is not strictly correct. The expectation value describes the average outcome for many observations, which is not the same as the most likely one. The two results converge when a large number of ensemble members is considered, so the final conclusion remains correct. | 21-dec-09 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 277 | In Equation 11.31, t should be τ. | 20-nov-13 | Tran Pham |
| 279 | the last line of Eq.11.35 should have Iy on the right-hand side, not Ix | 11-aug-08 | Pete Mustonen |
| 282 | In the first equation on the page, t should be τ. | 20-nov-13 | Tran Pham |

| 298 | In the middle of the page, "log" should be replaced by "ln", i.e. the natural log. | 11-feb-09 | Nick Anthis |
| 311 | The projection of the ring in Fig.12.32 is inaccurate. An accurate calculation is given here. | 28-nov-13 | Tran Pham |
| 312 | The projection of the fragmented ring in Fig.12.33 is inaccurate. An accurate projection is given in the lower part of the graphic here. | 28-feb-16 | Tran Pham, Gaspard Huber |
| 312 | garbled graphic for Fig.12.35. Pick up replacement here. | 11-aug-08 | Pete Mustonen |
| 313 | text between Eqs. 12.8 and 12.9 should read: "..the magnetic field gradient is along the y-axis.." | 11-aug-08 | Pete Mustonen |
| 320 | The signs of the quadrupolar terms should be reversed in Fig.13.1 | 15-dec-13 | Tran Pham |
| 322 | The complex conjugates in numerous terms in the second and third equations should apply to the second term in each product, for example c1*c-1 should be c1 c-1*. 12 corrections are needed. | 11-dec-13 | Tran Pham |
| 322 | The labels of the two double-quantum coherences should be exchanged in figure 13.3. | 21-dec-09 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 323 | The complex conjugates in Eqs.13.8, 13.9 and 13.10 should apply to the second term in each product, for example c1*c-1 should be c1 c-1*. 6 corrections are needed. | 11-dec-13 | Tran Pham |
| 330 | Exchange the black and grey arrows in Fig.13.11 | 04-jan-14 | Tran Pham |
| 336 | In the last line, "spin-1" should be changed to "spin-3/2". | 21-dec-09 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 343 | The equation before 13.42 should have a factor of (1/2) before the parenthesis | 11-aug-08 | Pete Mustonen |
| 346 | Equation 13.48 should have a factor of (35/12) in front of the unit operator, not (7/4) | 11-aug-08 | Pete Mustonen |
| 346 | the right-hand side of equation 13.49 should be multiplied by 3. The following sentence should read "Note the factor of (3/10) in the right-hand side of Equation 13.49". | 11-aug-08, 17-feb-09 & 23-jul-10 | Pete Mustonen & Tran Pham |
| 347 | the pattern of level shifts in Figure 13.26 is inconsistent with the text. Replacement here. | 11-aug-08 | Pete Mustonen |
| 347 | replace "two (+2)-quantum coherences" by "two (+4)-quantum coherences". | 23-jul-10 | Jiri Bocan |
| 349 | The attribution to Figure 13.28 should read V. Lemaître. | 23-jul-10 | Jiri Bocan |
| 358 | In the last line of equation 14.5, the term in the parenthesis should be (I1+I2- + I1-I2+) | 11-jan-09 | Paul Guerry |
| 359 | Remove the prefactor 1/2 before the matrix. | 04-jan-14 | Tran Pham |
| 361 | Exchange |T+1> and |T-1> in Figures 14.3 and 14.4. | 04-jan-14 | Tran Pham |
| 362 | Exchange |T+1> and |T-1> in Figure 14.5. The coherence assignments are consistent with a negative sign for d12, as in Figure 14.3. | 04-jan-14 | Tran Pham |
| 366 | The assignments of coherences to peaks in Figure 14.9 are consistent with Ω20 > Ω10, which is the opposite convention to that assumed in Chapter 15. | 04-jan-14 | Tran Pham |
| 375 | Remove "(15.6)" from the marginal caption to the figure. | 23-jul-10 | Jiri Bocan |
| 381 | In figure 15.12, the right-hand x-axis label should read Ω20. | 23-jul-10 | Jiri Bocan |
| 381 | The caption of figure 15.12 should read "for γ<0 and J12>0". | 21-dec-09 | Olaf Dietrich |
| 385 | In Fig.15.17, replace (α-) by (-α), and (β-) by (-β). | 06-jan-14 | Tran Pham |
| 386 | In Fig.15.18, replace (α-) by (-α), and (β-) by (-β). | 06-jan-14 | Tran Pham |
| 389 | Replace "1Q" by "single-quantum". | 23-jul-10 | Jiri Bocan |

| 468 | 6 lines above the end of the page: m2(2) should be replaced by m1(2) in two places. | 17-aug-10 | Jiri Bocan |
| 470 | The density matrix element at (row3, column 8) should be indexed (+β+), not (αβ+). | 20-mar-09 | Richard Green |
| 471 | The density matrix element discussed in the first paragraph in section 18.5.2 should be indexed (-+-), not (+-+). This occurs twice. | 30-mar-11 | Steven Morgan |
| 475 | In the first equation on the page, replace -αα by -αβ | 17-aug-10 | Jiri Bocan |
| 476 | In the first line below Figure 18.8, the coupling specification should be J23=10 Hz and J13=0. | 17-aug-10 | Jiri Bocan |
| 524 | In line 3, insert a hyphen in "S-spin". | 17-aug-10 | Jiri Bocan |
| 528 | The simulated spectra in Fig.19.29 are not accurate for 13C2-glycine, since they do not include the effects of dipole-dipole coupling between the two 13C nuclei. The simulated spectra actually correspond to a superposition of spectra from 1-13C-glycine and 2-13C-glycine. | 24-aug-08 | Oleg Antzutkin |

| 555 | The x-axis labels should read ω/2π. | 03-sep-13 | Kaz Nagashima |
| 556 | In the caption to figure 20.20, replace "long" by "short". | 17-aug-10 | Jiri Bocan |
| 565 | Equation 20.22 for T2-1; is correct only if the spins under consideration are of the same isotopic type and have identical chemical shifts. If the spins have resolved chemically shifts, the correct expression for T2-1 is given instead by eq.20.39 (the auto-relaxation rate constant in ROESY). | 02-feb-21 | Gottfried Otting |
| 567 | The left-most
label in figure 20.35 should read  |
12-nov-09 | Jörn Schmedt auf der Günne |

| 603 | In the last equation on the page, the left hand side should be RjZx(Θ) not RjzX(Θ) | 15-dec-13 |
Dan Gochberg/ Malcolm Levitt |
| 609 | In figure A.5, the "s" symbols should be lower case, and the receiver phase shift should have the superscript "rf". | 17-aug-10 | Jiri Bocan |
| 614 | The last line of the equation before (A.25) should read VZZ=eq | 31-mar-09 | David Bennett |
