Well, I do appreciate their zeal.. your comment did touch a nerve
here as well...
There is a good bunch of errata on the web site, and there are a few
more that I need to get up there. If anything, it was the lack of
submitting the errata that ticked me more than anything...
I merely suggest that
at the very least, overlooking all the spelling mistakes, for $59.99
the
publisher (Sams) should have caught that the post decrement operator
'--'
had been replaced with an [em] dash in every code example.
This actually only is an issue in three locations.. and all of us
(Don, Erik and myself -- this was NOT a solo project) were not
particularly happy about that... it happened post our editing,
somewhere in the typesetting.
We're definitely interested in knowing about any of the errors, both
typographical as well as other, since it can be corrected in the second
printing, and it can be documented so others may not have to find out
the hard way.
I'd be surprised if with the aggressive discounting (hey, if you
bought it through Amazon, you didn't pay $59.99.. but $42.00) that
anyone makes any money on these things.. let alone with the
editing/proofing that the publishers have to do.. and lets face it,
most publishers don't know dookie about Objective-C...
