I think that's certainly a worthy thing to be picky about.

According to Amazon.com,

    Sams Teach Yourself Ruby in 21 Days
    by Mark Slagell
    [...]
    This item will be published on February 12, 2002.

Also, just now, I wasn't able to find the above entry based on doing a
search on "Ruby"; but I did find it cross-referenced from "The Ruby Way"
page. Maybe someone can get Sams to pester Amazon about this. (And please
let us know when they fix these things and I will order a copy of "Sams
Teach Yourself Ruby in 21 Days".)
