The instruction (1.) & code block on page 54 creates a SaveableBehavior abstract class using the US spelling ("*or").

The code block on page 56 subclasses the SaveableBehaviour class using the British spelling ("*our").

It's also a little weird that the abstract SaveableBehavior (US spelling) on p54 subclasses MonoBehaviour (British spelling).

On page 87, 6th paragraph, the text reads "You can use the dot product to determine the similarity of two vectors." It should read, "You can use the dot product to determine the similarity of two normalized vectors."

In the Unity Game Development Cookbook, Section 2.10, in the code for the SavingService class, in particular the code for its LoadGame method, there is a minor typo. The code works, but I think instead of
// We need to know what scenes to load.
if (!data.ContainsKey("scenes")
you meant to write
// We need to know what scenes to load.
if (!data.ContainsKey(SCENES_KEY)
