Default Error in Harrington

I believe there is an error on page 170.

"The pot is now $720. What do you do now? "

Should be: "The pot is now $840. What do you do now? "

Further down the page: "It costs you $120 to call a pot of $720. Those 6-to-1 odds look very good."

Should be: "It costs you $120 to call a pot of $840. Those 7-to-1 odds look pretty [censored] good."

There are several literary errors dealing with some of the situations in there. Such as one specific seat folding, then when the problem is laid out, it asks what do you do with that same seat still to act and so on. Other than those minor mistakes that I remember seeing, the book is awesome.

Another error on page 185.
"With king-queen I would play in all middle positions, with a mix of 60% raises and 40% folds."

But he then says, "...I would play king-jack with a mixture of 50% raises and 50% calls."

I believe he meant for a 60% raise and 40% call with KQ in middle position.

Here's another: on p. 183 in the section on opening hands when no one has yet entered the pot, he says for AJs, "In early position with ace-jack suited, use a mixture of half raises and half calls". But then in Hand 5-6 on p. 233, where you were 2nd to act with AJs and the UTG folded he says "Raising is a mistake unless the table has been so quiet that you think there's a good chance you may buy the pot. When you play AJ from early position, your goal is to see a cheap flop and evaluate, not to build a big pot before you actually have anything."

So which is correct?

Also on page 165, the table example show the player in the SB having $2060, when he could only have $1060.

Hopefully the publishers will pick up on these things for correction in later relases of the book.
