      <f:selectItem itemValue="Pickle" itemLabel="Pickle/> . . .
In the following paragraph, change "Those values are also used" to "The itemLabel values are used". Remove ", so f:selectItem also has an itemLabel attribute". [In the beta version, the value was automatically used as the label when the label was omitted, but this feature has since been removed.]

Page 404
In the corejsf:tabbedPane at the bottom of the page, change TabKey to TabText (4x)
Page 425-427
The tabbedpane/WEB-INF/classes/com/corejsf/TabbedPaneTag.java listing is wrong. It should be bears/WEB-INF/classes/com/corejsf/TabbedPaneTag.java, and there are minor differences between the printed code and the code distribution. The file in the code distribution is correct.
