Chris said that because most of it was published, he had no other recommendations other than fixing the typo on pg. 72:

Divergence is affected by rates and distance of spread where long-distance dispersal or low rates of mutation would lead to less divergence and thus lower correlations between genetic and geographic distances.

Reading this again, it doesn't make much sense. I'm considering just striking the sentence since the preceding sentence makes so much more sense:

If the epidemic had a single origin, a correlation between genetic and geographic distance would be expected as populations acquire mutations over time and clonally diverge regardless of rates of spread.

Chris says removing this sentence is fine.
