Besides this bug, how's the book? :)
Judging by the random scattering of 'single' and "double" quotes in 
the original post - not worth buying.
Man, you've gotta get yourself past the syntax layer and start 
concentrating on the semantics.  I never would have noticed any quoting 
disparity if you hadn't called attention to it.  Seems like such a 
silly thing to obsess over (and to publicly criticize the author for, 
which just seems a little mean) when the world is full of much more 
important things to criticize.
