PDF, ePub	Page 501 1st paragraph	Under the heading "Preparing a Popover", the first sentence needs a "to" inserted, i.e. you’re going present a view controller , vs you’re going to present a view controller	Egghead Games	Jun 20, 2015
PDF, ePub	Page 65 Third paragraph	3rd paragraph beginning of chapter two, it says: "For how to draw text, see Chapter 12". I think what is meant is: "For how to draw text, see Chapter 10". (I.e. switch 12 to 10 and adjust the link) Why? Because chapter 12 is about a lot of interesting controls, but none seemingly specific to text, whereas chapter 10 is called "Text" and begins by discussing drawing text. Note from the Author or Editor: I completely agree!	Egghead Games	Jun 19, 2015

PDF	Page 865 Person class code	It is not necessary to use @NSCopying and NSString (although it works), i.e. class Person: NSObject, NSCoding { var firstName: String var lastName: String ... is also correct (and easier to understand at first sight). However, one could emphasize that Person has to inherit from NSObject to prevent a runtime error (unfortunately, no compile-time error occurs when Person has no parent). Thanks for a great book! Note from the Author or Editor: Agreed, and I've taken out the NSCopying from the book and from the online examples. I can only guess that during very early phases, when I was first translating the example from Objective-C to Swift, this had to be an NSString and therefore as a matter of policy I used NSCopying to go with it.
