"Conventions used in this book", 3rd and 4th items

The sub-headers, "Constant width bold" and "Constant width italic," have been printed as strange square symbols instead of readable characters (compared to online version on Google Books http://books.google.com/books?id=2l-GvnvR9AIC&lpg=PP1&pg=PR12#v=onepage&q&f=false).

First line of text at top of page (template...)

I believe the line should read:
"template @ { } wrapped characters...."
However, the line appears with the "@ { }" superimposed over the words "wrapped characters" with a space held for the correct placement of the "@ { }".

When I cut and paste from the PDF file, I get the following:
"template wr@a{p p} ecdh ainra cters."

figure 2-4

In figure 2-4, the table for the posts is defined. The reader is instructed to make all of the fields to not allow nulls. Then, In the following sections describing the AddPost form, the POST action does not update the date field, so an error is encountered when trying to POST: PublicationDate is null.

In a related matter, the reader is not instructed to mark the ID field "IsIdentity". Some versions of SQL Express need this to be marked as the table is created because it cannot be altered afterwards.

code within listing on page inside if(IsPost){...}

Since the book was published in Sept. 2011, I assume that the author was using the original WebMatrix, however, in the latter part of 2011 and recently in 2012, WebMatrix 2 beta and WebMatrix 2 RC, respectively, have been released. These versions of WebMatrix require that a reference to a .dll or a library be added. This is most easily accomplished by using NuGet to add "Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages 2 Web Data" to the project. Otherwise, the code presented on page 19 will not work as expected.

If no errors occurred, the ModelState.IsValid property will reflect this by returning false.

The right is:
If no errors occurred, the ModelState.IsValid property will reflect this by returning true.
