The text reads:
For example, the following query would return the items where the id is alice OR bob:
$ knife search node "name:susu OR name:atwood"
It should say:

chapter 6, Chef Client Modes, 1st full paragraph |
same errata already reported for other versions also applies to the safari version.
"This is why client-client created the nodes/ directory. Local mode was designed to support rapid Chef recipe development by using Chef Zero, the in-memory, fast-start Chef server."
client-client should be chef-client

You suggest sublimetext, would it better to use visual studio code with chef extension installed as that is free?

chef dev kit |
It looks like most of the url are no longer any good as chef no longer has the chef dev kit. I assume that we are supposed to use chef workstation?
ps- do you have a PDF or website link for the book that talks about all the changes, as the book?

1st Paragraph |
YAML file format and how to synchronise source between host and guest
The online .kitchen.yml file has the reference material, suggest you add that into example 5.1 and then explain in the breakout that files created in each folder will be synchronised
If a reader is following the examples correctly AND watching output then this exposition should be enough.
Not sure at this point if you mention them later in the book but its a big omission

last paragraph staring with "Before chef-client local mode was implemented ..." |
The second sentence
"chef-solo offers an additional client mode called solo mode."
should read
"chef-client offers an additional mode called solo mode."

First paragraph |
The weblink to download Enterprise Chef http://www.getchef.com/contact/on-premises takes you to a page where you can enter details but nothing seems to happen - it simply returns to the form page. No emails are sent. I checked this with Mozilla (with a AdBloc+ and Ghostery) but the behaviour was identical in Chrome with no blockers.
Further more - locating the download by finding the downloads here: https://downloads.chef.io/chef-server/redhat/ no longer offers the choice of version 11.1.8 - the one stipulated in the text. The highest 11 version available is 11.1.7 and then the next one is 12.0.0. Given a major number change it's quite possible there have been some big changes.

Example 9-3 listing, last line |
execute 'chef-server-ctl reconfigure'
should be replaced with
execute 'private-chef-ctl reconfigure'
Otherwise kitchen converge will fail on that task, since there is no chef-server-ctl in private-chef-11.1.8-1

Example 15.5 and 15.13 |
Example 15.5 contains ' - role[webmaster]' and should be ' - role[webserver]'.
Example 15.5 contains ' roles_path: ../../.roles' and should be ' roles_path: ../../roles'
Prior to running kitchen converge prod-centos65, the Policyfile.rb must be renamed to Policyfile.rb.xxx otherwise an error is thrown:
Chef::PolicyBuilder::Policyfile::UnsupportedFeature: Policyfile does not work with an Environment configured.
Example 15.13 contains 2 occurrences of ' - role[webmaster]' and should be ' - role[webserver]'.
Example 15.13 contains ' roles_path: ../../.roles' and should be ' roles_path: ../../roles'

1st paragraph |
This is from example 15-13. When defining the provisioner it says:
roles_path: ../../.roles
And it should be:
roles_path: ../../roles
(without the '.' just before roles).
Cheers!

Chapter 9, example 9.3, Kindle location 3699 |
The line:
execute 'chef-server-ctl reconfigure'
Should be:
execute 'private-chef-ctl reconfigure'
because we just installed the RPM of the version 11.1.8.1 of private-chef, that doesn't contain chef-server-ctl.
The error we receive using chef-server-ctl is:
No such file or directory - chef-server-ctl

The 'role[webmaster]' will cause the 'kitchen converge' that runs later to fail. You had the reader create the 'webserver' role, not the 'webmaster' role. Your target audience may have a difficult time figuring out why this does not work.

- role[webmaster]
As with the earlier mistake, this is a repeat of using 'webmaster' instead of 'webserver'.

Below Figure 15-4 |
$ kitchen destroy dev-centos65
Text above indicates 'kitchen destroy' should be run with no parameters to destroy both created instances. The command here is wrong, (dev-centos65 should not be entered), but the output appears correct (both instances are destroyed).

Commands in ChefSpec are usually the results of an in-memory Chef run. ChefSpec matchers are documented[ ChefSpec matchers] are documented as shown in Figure 16-18.
Looks like an error when copying text. Last sentence duplicates itself.
