Ch7 sub-headings in Tools for analyzing indexes section not consistent i.e. Using the dm_db_index_physical_stats DMV and Using sys.dm_db_Database_page_allocations (sys. and DMV inconsistent)

Ch 7 in Tools for analyzing indexes section, output cols of sys,dm_db_index_physical_stats not described, but those of sys.dm_db_Database_page_allocations are, why the inconsistency?! Tells me sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats used for system health, but doesn?t go into any detail? some detail in given later in ?Analyzing a clustered index structure? section

P619 has English errors ??in this manner because it simplifies reason about the set??? also p619 has ??duplicated many times in the sazxszme query.?

In Chapter 12, in caching mechanisms, uses term autoparameterization, later uses the term ?simple parameterization? heading when discussing detail. Doesn?t say they are the same! Please be consistent else explain? (know they are cas says Drawbacks of simple parameterization : A feature of autoparameterization that?)

Chapter 12 p752 says ??to come up with a new fplan?? fplan should be plan.

Chapter 14 p853 has error in title: Enablilng parallelism should be Enabling parallelism
