Each chapter follows a three-pronged format: first, a range of examples; second, an explanation of causes of the problems; and third, suggestions with which to approach the problems. Although more than forty years have passed since the book’s original publication date, the majority of the information remains pertinent and insightful today.
Penguin books in Australia recently had to reprint 7,000 copies of a now-collectible book because one of the recipes called for "salt and freshly ground black people." 9 misprints that are worth a ...

One well-publicized example is Intel's "FDIV" erratum in early Pentium processors, [7] known as the Pentium FDIV bug.
