Does anybody have a list of errors in this book?

I am trying to test my engine on these simple end games.. but on this position:

[D]8/8/8/8/4N3/1k6/1p6/7K w - - 0 1

It says white to move and draw with Nd2+ Kc2 Nc4 b1/Q Na3+ Kc1 Nxb1 Kxb1, but
crafty with EGTB shows a forced win for black:

1. Kh2 Kc2! 2. Kg3! b1=Q 3. Kf4! Qa1 4. Kf5! Qd4! 5. Nf6 Kd3! 6.
Ke6! Qe3+ 7. Kf7 Qe5 8. Ng8 Qd5+ 9. Kg7! Kd4! 10. Nf6! Qf5 11. Ne8!
Qd7+ 12. Kf8! Ke5! 13. Ng7! Kf4 14. Ne6+ Qxe6! 15. Kg7 Qe7+ 16. Kh8
Ke5 17. Kg8 Kf6! 18. Kh8 Qg7#

This is endgame 149.
