last paragraph in chapter Calling Superclass Methods

The last sentence states that one should revert to [self description]. This should be corrected to [self name] instead as stated before in chapter 3. [self description] would just call itself until the calling stack overruns.

1st paragraph, 2nd sentence

The second sentence says, "Note that the elements are not stored in any particular order".

In the example cited this is not true. The keys are in alphabetical order.

The question now is: is this always true?

because it's really really confusing trying to do the examples in this book w/ Xcode 3 w/out knowing that the process has changed.
