The cover (RepKover) is glued on upside down.

Also the upside-down cover says that details of the "Free online edition" has details on the last page, but there is no last page except Page 463 of the index.

1st paragraph

The first sentence ("You need to [...]") ends with a question mark.

Probably an exclamation mark instead.

This is the page we built on page 20 to get started with the new RPM site.

page 20 is not correct. I think it changed to 128 or 129 page.

You provided a couple of screen readers that users can use, one of which costs something like $850 USD! As a web designer we need to at least have some sort of feedback to let us design the page for the visually impaired. In just about every other section of the book we had pointers to free and useful tools to assist with the layout of the page.

Have you heard of the "Fangs" plugin for Firefox? It at least provides the text of what the reader would call out. It's free, and platform independent. While it's not useful for people with disabilities, it can be used as a web designer tool to see how the site would read. It might be worth putting a reference to that in the next version of the book.

The date 4/5/2010 is given. The arrow pointing to it says that the United States uses the date-month-year format, but we use the month-date-year format. The rest of the world uses date-month-year. The question is asked if the date reads May 5th, 2010 or April 4th, 2010. The question should be is it May 4th 2010, or April 5th 2010, as there's no possible way to get 5/5/2010 or 4/4/2010 out of 4/5/2010.
