Holy crap ... the amount of typos in this book is beyond frustrating.  For what you pay for these, (I think somewhere in the 60 dollars and up range), its absolutely absurd that I have to spend more of my study time back checking every step, not just the numbers, but the pre-printed equations in a given step, preceding the calculation.  That's what is most annoying, often times the numbers are right, but the equation as printed is wrong, and so when you try to reproduce the calculation with the printed equation it never matches.  The wind chapter, (chapter 2), was awful. 

I've looked for an errata online, but part of me wants to just scrap this book completely because now I have no faith in it at all. 

Does anyone else have similar experience with this book?
