Here's a key to the markup:

        [page-number]: serious technical mistake
        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification



Confirmed errors:


{129} code near middle of page:
now reads:

    // Try loading from disk
    try {
      File r = new File("./data/counter.dat");
      DataInputStream ds = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(r));
      timesAccessed = ds.readInt();
    }
    catch (FileNotFoundException e){
      // Handle error
    }
    catch (IOException e){
      // This should be logged
    }
    finally{
      ds.close();
    }


should read:

    // Try loading from the disk
    try {
      File r = new File("./data/counter.dat");
      DataInputStream ds = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(r));
      timesAccessed = ds.readInt();
      ds.close();
    }
    catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
      // Handle error
    }
    catch (IOException e) {
      // This should be logged
    }

In other words, strike the last three lines and insert "ds.close();" as the 
fourth line under "try".


{130} code:
now reads:

 public void destroy() {
   // Write the integer to a file
   File r = new File("./data/counter.dat");
   try {
     DataOutputStream dout = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(r));
     dout.writeInt(timesAccessed);
   }
   catch (IOException e){
     // this should be logged
   }
   finally {
      dout.close();
   }
 }

should read:

  public void destroy() {
    // Write the Integer to a file
    File r = new File("./data/counter.dat");
    try {
      DataOutputStream dout = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(r));
      dout.writeInt(timesAccessed);
      dout.close();
    }
    catch(IOException e) {
      // This should be logged
    }
  }

That is, strike these three lines:

    finally (
      dout.close();
    }
