I have the book Isolated Pawn: Theory of Chess Middlegame.  Some of the examples
are easily bustable, e.g. the analysis was not computer-checked at all, because
there's some move that goes +7, but White misses it, then Black misses defending
against it, then White misses it again, etc.

I would like to know if they have checked the actual content for errors this
time around.  It was clear from the book that they haven't done this much
before, because it looks like errors were propagated from analysis back in the
60s directly into the book.  Needless to say, I was not impressed.
