1st paragraph

In 4th edition, Chapter 8: Table Views and Collection Views, Table View Scrolling and Layout

The statement "The scrollPosition parameter is as for selectRowAtIndexPath:..." is false.
According to Apples documentation, UITableViewScrollPositionNone makes the table view scroll "the row of interest to be fully visible with a minimum of movement". This is the case for the scrolling methods mentioned here! However, the method selectRowAtIndexPath:... that is mentioned (and described earlier in the book) treats UITableViewScrollPositionNone differently - it does not make it scroll at all (as you said in your description of that method)!

You could also add this tip that Apple provides for selectRowAtIndexPath:... : "To scroll to the newly selected row with minimum scrolling, select the row using this method with UITableViewScrollPositionNone, then call scrollToRowAtIndexPath:atScrollPosition:animated: with UITableViewScrollPositionNone".

Note from the Author or Editor:
This is not strictly an erratum, but it's an interesting suggestion and I've made a note in the manuscript

3rd paragraph

under subheading:
"shouldAutomaticallyForwardAppearanceMethods"

Line says: "If you override this method to return YES..."

Instead, line should read: "if you override this method to return NO..."

Note from the Author or Editor:
Thank you, nice catch! Corrected in my copy.
