Hei Jon,
your text correction and errors hunting skills are impressive.
I'm writing a book about Puppet too and am definitively in time to correct 
it before printing.
There are already technical reviewers doing a great work, but I think you 
can add great value to the contents and their correctness.

Let me know if you are available.
Regards
Al
