The details may be wrong, but it's a non-issue as far as the book goes. The fact remains it mentions Pentax, that was the main point, and a Pentax 35mm isn't incorrect. If anyone here reads Tanenbaum's fiction, they will enjoy this book, as he was one of the NYC ADA's on it. The fact camera details are wrong say nothing of the book Graywolf, and the attitude of don't waste your time is a bit absurd and not really a comment you can make.
Anyhow, MAIN point is Pentax is in print. In most popular writing, we know other brands usually get the honour.
