There are code examples that run off the right-hand side of the page.

Note from the Author or Editor:
On each of the pages cited, the text should be wrapped. The wrapping was acceptable in the print edition, not sure what to do to change it in the PDF.

code block in mid-page

There is a line in the code block of the middle of the page that runs off the page into the margin.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Change the following line:

writer.WriteString("<this contains some characters XML wouldn't like & so the XmlWriter replaces them");

to the following two lines:

writer.WriteString("<this contains some characters XML wouldn't like & so the XmlWriter " +
"replaces them");

The same change needs to be made in the code listing on p 51.
