When describing the previous command on page 15, the author states that he used "a shell glob that matches all of the data files." However, he did not use a shell glob in that example, instead the command only specified one file. The shell glob was used in the prior example, which he is not explaining in this paragraph. |

The Python code as written in the Python interpreter is not properly indented for the definition of functions on pages 58, 59, and 60 or the while loop on page 65. This mistake is not made in other O'Reilly texts, e.g. see page 18 of Programming Python 4th ed. |

The second to last sentence in the 2nd paragraph on page 148 reads: "When one accepts that imperfection, it opens up the ability to integrate data into all supports of projects and policies." I believe it should read: "When one accepts that imperfection, it opens up the ability to integrate data into all sorts of projects and policies." |

The word "is" is repeated twice in the first sentence of the 4th paragraph on page 149. The context does not call for two instances of "is". You should delete one instance. |

http://github.com/timClicks/baddata/ is 404. http://github.com/timClicks/ works, but does not contain the _Bad Data_ "Web Framework Backed by Files" implementation as far as I can see. |

The description of the cover photo mentions the "Cananda Goose" and I think it should be "Canada Goose" in the parenthetical list at the end of the second paragraph. |
