Latest Tip: #5
Don't buy a book whose errata list is more than a page or two long. The list is usually available on the publisher's Web site. When it's longer than a page or two, that should raise a red flag. Either it was sloppily written or sloppily edited. You don't want to try to learn from a book whose information is wrong. You'll experience unnecessary frustration.
Recently, I was considering the purchase of a CSS book I'd seen in a bookstore. However, after discovering that its errata list was nine pages long, I scratched the idea.
