Errors on every line of page
925089
As the other reviews said, this book would be fine, but there are typos (bugs) on nearly every page - makes it really frustrating and confusing when your code is not working. In my opinion, totally unacceptable!

I am only on page 30 of this book and have discovered 6 major typographical errors! Did they have proof readers? Some of the typos are easy to figure out, but some cause entirely wrong answers to be given! If you are not confident in the subject matter and your ability to figure out which answer is wrong because of a typo and which is wrong because you truly got it wrong, do not use this book-it will only confuse you!

When I received the book, I was happy. I am a graphic design student and I always appreciate a good quality printed book. I returned my order of this book, after having 3 - 5 or so of my pages with CMYK registry trim errors in the center of the book. Thus, for me this is a big problem. When attending College, its no secret that books are not a dime a dozen. That being said, I was not satisfied after finding this error within the books trimming. I returned the book. Lets hope, if you order one, all your pages are intact and smooth, not folded and with 1" long of extra slack on given pages like mine. It was a bit of a let down.

there are so many pages of - 'how to do function xyz' and numbered items of 'click 1, click 2, click 3' without ANY context of what the command does and how it's different. also, some of the paragraphs are unclear in the two column format for each page whether they read left to right or top to bottom - ridiculous!

really a waste of a guide - avoid unless you've never used any Office application

This book is filled with errors. For instance, in one section, the author refers to a sample jsp but what is under it is an java file instead. Then the author instructs the reader to copy the sample code for a java file but this is the jsp instead. Plus in many places, the author instructs the reader to create a directory but then a couple of paragraphs later the author is instructing the reader to save some code in an entirely different directory than the one the reader just created.
Where was the editor of this book?

I couldn't read past the mistakes. The kindle version has pages missing, pages repeated, and differences in formatting. All in the first few pages of the story. I couldn't read it with all the errors.

Hi:
THe book looks good and has helped to get me going. The book will go off in directions in a haphazard way that reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Homer is trying to repair his basement by watching a video. The BIG problem with this book is that the code has errors in it that keep it from working!! This to me is a big NO NO and the reason I gave the book a low rating. Sometimes the errors can be fixed by adding an import statement here and there but othertimes it seems to be a question of coding logic. Now I have not time to debug their code so I skip it, but it would be nice to see it work...
On top of all that there is NO support for the book by the author or the publisher. This is strange considering other titles offer great suppor that usually rival software manufacturers support for their own product!

This little book includes some lovely lace patterns; however, I've tried two patterns so far and found errors in both!! In one, the multiple of cast-on stitches is incorrect (Leaf and Trellis has a multiple of 20 + 3, but it should be 18 + 7--something I discovered AFTER I had cast on the wrong number and knitted two rows for a border). Also, one of the patterns is missing a stitch at the end of row 11: Diamond and Leaf. Even though I love the patterns in this book, I'm pretty disgusted that there are so many errors, and because I've been burned twice now, I'm really reluctant to attempt any of the other patterns.

For these reasons, I'd recommend foregoing this book and buying a different lace pattern book--one that's had it's patterns tested and is trustworthy!

I loved this book.  The preceding reviews already do justice to its content.

However, I have never seen a book so full of inexplicable printing errors.  There were perhaps five instances on every page of im properl yspaced words, especially in the passages with italicized print.  This was very distracting; it was impossible for me to "lose myself" in the book as the content demanded.  This was especially egregious in the moving and transcendent final passages of the book.  I don't know who is responsible for that, but shame on them!

printing error: vertical line of missing letters top to bottom of pp 1 through 97 (odd numbered pages)  .... difficult to read
quality control?

I really, really like this dictionary. It is easy to read, simple to understand, and very useful for my classes. There is one significant problem.
Pages 911-942 are repeated twice, and pages 943-974 are missing entirely (end of 'T', all of 'U' and beginning of 'V')
I purchased this new from Amazon so clearly this is a binding defect. I don't know how common this issue is, but I will be returning it.

This is quite a useful book, as has been well documented in other reviews.  The tips are helpful, the examples are useful, and the typography and layout are easy on the eyes.

However -- and this is a big however -- the book is riddled with technical errors.  The errata file, available for download from the publisher as a PDF file, currently runs a whopping 11 pages.  While a small handful of errors in a technical book's first edition is inevitable, 11 pages is not a small handful for a book as thin as this.  It's really inexcusable that so many errors -- some of them quite obvious -- made it past the editor.

Pages aren't actually blank. The same sentence is repeated at the top of each page. It really lost its impact.

Even on the first page, the errors start cropping up. This appears to be the work of a computer, and a rather stupid one. It has negative value, despite the fact that the work itself is obviously the classic in the field; this volume should be withdrawn from the market until it is fixed.

This review applies to the Kindle edition.

While I enjoyed the story, the reading experience was severely marred by too numerous to count formatting errors in the HTML code.

Words run together, some words are on lines of their own, hyphenated words are all over the page, quotes are missing, chapters start at different places. It was really irritating and frustrating and ruined a really good story telling experience. I would not recommend it unless you can over look page after page of errors.

Who the heck let this slip out? Who was responsible for the conversation? Didn't anyone actually check the Kindle edition?

Was this book  edited? There are so many errors  information on one page conflicts with info in a box on the next; the beginning of chapter two repeats a paragraph and fails to complete the next one.  And I'm just beginning chapter two.  There's clearly a problem  either the authors failed to review the proofs, or the editor fell asleep on the job.

This would have been a very helpful book for the beginner Access programmer - if it just weren't for the NUMEROUS errors!  Thank goodness I am an Access developer and was able to fix the errors and understand what the author meant.  I did learn some tricks and some basic understanding of why I had been doing certain things.  However, the errors were rather distracting.  I agree with the other reviewer who said this book was rushed to press.  The editor of this book needs to find a new job!
