Lines 9, 10 & 15
2nd quotation mark " is pointing in the wrong direction.

The third word in the wordListTwo array reads:
"valued-added"

The Pool Puzzle snippets have
System.out.print("a ");
System.out.print("n ");
I.e., there appear to be spaces after the letters.
it should be:
System.out.print("a");
System.out.print("n");

Also, the snippet
System,out,print("an");
is not syntactically correct since it uses commas rather than periods between "System", "out" and "print"

1st amoeba:
"Amoeba" is misspelled as "Ameoba"
in "Ameoba rotation point..."

2nd amoeba
"amoeba" is spelled as "ameba"
(ameba is an acceptable spelling, just does not match the rest of the page)

The sentence says: "...he added an attribute that all Ameboas would have".
should be "Amoebas".

First sentence reads:
"So objects have instance and variables and methods,..."
now reads:
"So objects have instance variables and methods,..."

The 7th item in answers says
"I have behavior"
it should say
"I have behaviors"

The 8th item in answers says
"Objects use me"
The actual puzzle says "I am located in objects"

"compiler always errors"
Should be
"compiler always errs"

The last sentence of the last paragraph is cut off. It reads:

"Don't worry, by the end of the book you'll have most of"

The continuation now reads:

"these memorized".

in class BooksTestDrive, the next to last statement is

System.out.println(myBooks[x].Author);
now reads:
System.out.println(myBooks[x].author);

in class BooksTestDrive, the next to last statement is

"(although it doesn't care about the size of the variable, so all the extra zeroes on
the left end don't matter."

Should be :

"(although it doesn't care about the size of the variable, so all the extra zeroes on
the left end don't matter)."

"it will be same for two references to a single object."
should be:
"it will be the same for two references to a single object."

The solution on page 91 used many "attendees" names that are not consistent with the
Exercise on page 87. For example, the following words:
instance variables
args
encapsulation

should be changed to:
instance variable
argument
encapsulate

In the pseudocode for the method, the following statement:
"COMPUTE a random number between 0 and 4..."

should be changed to:
"COMPUTE a random number between 0 and 5..."

in order to be consistent with the statment on page 106.

"COMPUTE a random number between 0 and 5 that will be the starting location cell position"
should be changed to:
"COMPUTE a random number between 0 and 4 that will be the starting location cell position"

Since the array begins at 0 and ends at 6, if you fill a series of three cells,
beginning in cell 5, your final cell will be in cell 7, which does not exist in the
array. This also means that the errata for page 105 (included below), is in error.

In the box Converting a String to an int, the line that reads:

Sting num = "2";
should read
String num = "2";

"if (locationCells.isEmpty())"

should read:

"if (locationCells.isEmpty()) {"

The sentence:
"Does it makes sense to say X IS-A type Y?"
Should be:
"Does it make sense to say X IS-A type Y?"

the word "makes" should be changed to "make"

This is just a simple formatting error. On page 204 in the second paragraph under
"Every class in Java extends class Object" there is a large space. It seems that a
new line was inserted before the 'rn' of 'return'.

simple typo:
"That't OK." should be "That's OK."

In the Object diagram:
change method
booleanequals()

to:
boolean equals()

Simple typo:
"(Object don't truly forget" should be "(Objects don't truly forget"

The answer on page 230 says "I can look different to different people" and the
exercise question on 227 says "I can appear different to different people".

The paragraph just above the illustrated drawing of the stack:

"barf() declares and creates a new Duck reference variable 'b'..."

That variable 'b' should be changed to 'd'

"object's it holds references to?"
should read:
"objects it holds references to?"

"whose" should be "who is"

Death-by-Dhocolate Brown ought to be Death-by-Chocolate Brown

"default accessn chapter 16 and appendx B"
should be
"default access in chapter 16 and appendix B"

in the sentence
"And what do you think that supeclass constructor does?"
should be
"And what do you think that superclass constructor does?"

The footnote states:
"... (you'll see that on page 22)."
now reads:
"... (you'll see that on page 252)."

"Look at the Stack series on page 17 again,"
now reads
"Look at the Stack series on page 248 again"

The text just below the Stack figures in item 2 and item 4:

Item 2: "go() plops on top of the Stack. 'x' and 'y' are..."
This is incorrect. 'x' and 'y' should be changed to 'x' and 'z'

Item 4 also needs to change 'x' and 'y' to 'x' and 'z'

"trying to make an new instance of the class,"

should read:

"trying to make a new instance of the class,"

"Assign a value to a final instance variable must be either at the time it is

In the letter from the compiler to Geeky he says

In the Stack figure, the laundry method should be changed to doLaundry method.

The first sentence reads:
"Remember from page three, we looked at how MIDI data holds..."

MIDI data is discussed on the third page of the chapter, not the third page of the
book. Therefore, the sentence should be changed to:

"Remember from page 299, we looked at how MIDI data holds..."

Most the code you write
should be:

If you want MouseEvents, implement the MouseEvent interface.
should be

interrface should be spelled interface.

"Add buttons, menus, radion buttons, etc."

"radion" now reads "radio"

Under the section "Display a JPEG", in the paragraph explained the drawImage method,
the second sentence begins:
"This says 3 pixels from the left edge of the panel and 2 pixels from the top edge of
the panel.."

should be changed to:
"This says 3 pixels from the left edge of the panel and 4 pixels from the top edge of
the panel.."

because the parameter list of the drawImage is : (image,3,4,this)

It says:
Given the pictures on page 17 ...
it now reads:
Given the pictures on page 351 ...

At the bottom of the page, in the paintComponent method, the comment refered to an
incorrect page number. The second comment that said:

"layed out" should be "laid out"

Change:

To:
"... primary key type (<prim-key-class>), but I don't see ..."

"We want something to run continusouly..."
should be
"We want something to run continuously..."

"myThread .start();"
should read:
"myThread.start();"

It works either way, but to be consistent with the way you have used the dot notation
throughout this book, the extra space is distracting.

The second line of the very first paragraph refered to an incorrect page number:

"...each time we ran it? Look back at page 28..."

should be changed to:

"...each time we ran it? Look back at page 478..."

class ThreadTester {

"Here's the serialized object the Scientific Calculator service registered with me."
Suggested improvement:
