The definition lines (the three lines beginning "To Perform," "Secretly," and "Purchasing") should be indented under the words they define. (See page 129 for the description of how this formatting is supposed to look. The example on p. 130 should match what's described on 129.

Figure 13-22

Figure 13-22 is incorrect. It has been replaced with the figure found here -
http://examples.oreilly.com/9780596008420/Missing_Figure_13-22.jpeg

the new caption text is:
"With an option field, you can collect additional information about the type of
product the buyer wants. This is useful if you offer the same item in
multiple colors or sizes. To create an option field, you choose the type of
control you'll use (a drop-down menu or text box). For a drop-down menu, you
then supply the allowed options from which the buyer can choose. PayPal lets
you create two option fields."
