A potentially good book let down by poor editing

I agree with some of the reviewers that this book has too many typo errors. Some of the errors are so obvious that they make me wonder whether the book has been proof read before it goes into printing. There are also obvious discrepancies between the code listing and the accompanying explanation. For example, in a few examples, the code listed one thing and the accompanying text just after it refers to something that is not found in the code listing or contradicts the code listing.

The upside about these typos errors is it kept me alert when I come across something that doesn't make sense. It also helped me in my understanding of JSF as I identify and correct the errors.

Nevertheless, it could have been a much better book if it has been professionally proof read and edited.
