I did not discover this error; however, I wanted to post on O'Reilly online that the errata for this book appears to be maintained by Microsoft and can be found here:

There are 2 errors listed as of now (that appear to still be uncorrected in the PDF version of the text) -- the code samples online location listed on page x, and a slightly incorrect reference to example code on Page 7.

I have a Kindle Dx. The code samples when wrapped across a page boundary, will not display the rest of the code when I click the next button. Instead the paragraph of text after the code sample is displayed. I've even seen this problem on the kindle ebook reader for the pc. I do not have this problem with other ebooks however.

Consider:
MessageBoxResult result =
MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save your data?",
MainWindow.Title, MessageBoxButton.YesNoCancel,
MessageBoxImage.Question, MessageBoxResult.Yes);
args.Cancel = (result == MessageBoxResult.Cancel);

The runtime result is a dialog box "Do you want to save your data?". When you click "Yes" the application is gone instead of continuing to stay on. Either the message should change or the last line should change to:
args.Cancel = (result == MessageBoxResult.Yes);

'FindName' does not work as described in this page. It works only if the buttons were defined in XAML or elements are registered programmatically. I had to add following inside ?StackTenButtons?:
NameScope.SetNameScope( this, new NameScope() );
?.
RegisterName( btn.Name, btn ); // Inside the for loop.

Re. "... Source property of RoutedEventArgs refer to ScrollBar object ...", at least in .NET 3.5 Source property is 'ScrollViewer'. This is from "Locals" window:

Source {System.Windows.Controls.ScrollViewer} object {System.Windows.Controls.ScrollViewer}

".. all four columns except the second heights of ..." 'heights' should be changed to 'widths'.
