Full of errors and inconsistencies

Does Syngress (the publisher) employ proof readers?

I doubt it. This book is so full of errors and inaccuracies that it becomes painful to read after a while. Especially the annotated examples, where the line numbers for the code listings often bear no relation to the line numbers listed in the accompanying analysis.

And then there's the confusion of ESP and EIP in several places throughout the book. For a collection of 'expert information' it comes off as a rather amateurish production. Makes you wonder... what else have they got wrong?

You'll notice this is very much the same as the review I've posted for "Sockets, Shellcode, Porting & Coding"... that is because it too is horrendous for errors.

This is 2 books from Syngress I've got that are very poor quality. What's going on guys?
