Section "How Humans Think About Thinking (And What We Don’t Realize)"

Minor typo in the Preface: it should say "after more than" instead of "aftermore than" —

<< Now, aftermore than 15 years of consulting, I’ve learned how to interview and observe customers... >>

Also, it is unclear who "their" is referring to when you say "grow their businesses." You start out by referring to customers, then switch to referring to business owners — 

<< I’ve learned how to interview and observe customers, learn what makes them tick on the inside, and identify opportunities to make exceptional products or services that grow their businesses and provide a great experience for their customers. >>

I'm unable to see page numbers in the online version of the book (through O'Reilly's website), so I'm not sure which roman numeral this typo is on.
