In Example 2.6

On my Kobo Glo (latest firmware) in the ePub all the inline formulas (the above location is only an example) are almost unreadable because they are enlarged (non-proportionally) so that the pixels are seen. For instance the $p^*$ on that page is enlarged to a hight of 2 lines and a width of more than half the page

Note from the Author or Editor:
This looks like a production issue. I don't know what I can do about it.

At the end of the code snippet

At the end of the resize function a statement is missing:

self.maps = new_maps

Note from the Author or Editor:
Please add

self.maps = new_maps

at the end of this snippet. So the whole function should be

def resize(self):
new_maps = BetterMap(self.num * 2)

for m in self.maps.maps:
for k, v in m.items:
new_maps.add(k, v)

self.maps = new_maps

4th paragraph from bottom

The claim that BFS in linear in |V| for a regular graph isn't true in general, as it is quadratic in |V| for a complete graph and according to Exercise 2-1 each complete graph is regular.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Submitter is correct. Fixed.
