Subject: Off Topic: The most error free chess book ever written?

I have been compiling an opening book for Genius 7 from Nunn's Chess Openings
and have entered more than 8,000 moves over many pages.  I have yet to find a
single misprint.  Compare this to Modern Chess Openings 14 which I used to have.
 Without exaggerating I would find a typo of some kind on just about every other
page or so. I have had other opening manuals down through the years and every
one of them had typos.  I guess what amazes me is the attention to detail that
has been put in NCO as I doubt I have ever seen any other technical book of
approximate size that was so error free.  Maybe it's because GM Nunn used a team
of specialists instead of trying to do the entire work himself.  I'm not trying
to pick on MCO 14 but just contrasting the difference.
