2nd paragraph

The text says "The code uses LINQ query syntax ..."
This is not correct. The code uses a lambda expression to define a method. While lambda expressions were introduced in the same version of C# as LINQ and they can be used in LINQ queries, among other places, a lambda expression is not itself a LINQ query, nor is it "LINQ query syntax". There is no LINQ query syntax in the code to which the text is referring.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Sorry about that. In one of our revisione we inserted a LINQ query in the sample, than remove it to simplify the sample. The corresponding text was not aligned.

last paragraph

Listing entries are offset by 1. The Listing at the top of page 71 is 3-7 which is the same as the Listing on page 69 (3-7). This also affects the Listing numberings for 3-8 and 3-9 on pages 75 and 76.
Also, the first paragraph on page 71 in the middle of the page refers to Figure 3-9, and there is no Figure 3-9.
