UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers:

{5} missingmanuals.com - "Missing CD" - Table Tutorial;
Part Two: Adjusting Layers

Step 5: Typo - "lick" instead of "click".

Step 6: Refers to moving the hue and saturation slider to choose color but this is not an option if 
chosing "Solid" under Step 5?

(41) 2nd Bullet Point - From the Editor...;
The Bullet Point says:
From the Editor, for files not already in the Organizer.

Next sentence:

So it seems like the Bullet Point should say:
From the Editor, for files already in the Organizer.

Last sentence of paragraph, in parentheses, says, "...restore you catalog..." instead of "...restore your 
catalog..."

First bullet point (Zoom In/Out) ends with "...explained on page 84."

It is page 84, so "...explained below." is better.

[409] Figure 15-7;
In discussion of the filter buttons for the Content Palette in Figure 15-7 and in item 4 on page 410, 
much is made of operation of the selection buttons. In Figure 15-7 it says "Click on any of the buttons 
(circled here) to exclude that category from your Content palette search." That is WRONG. In my copy of 
Elements, pressing the buttons INCLUDES the desired content as one would normally expect
