Look again. They were correcting the error in the 2006 version, not
adding it.
However, I am quite surprised they updated the book, and even more
surprised that while doing so they did not update the specs.
BTW, I'm quite impressed by the selection of images on the commerce
site. It is quite rare to see any commerce site with decent photos of
the products these days.
