That typo on p 621 has never been fixed, as far as I know, and still appears in later printings you can find new right now. The number line is all you need.

A Near Fine only copy, with an owner'sblindstamp on the title page, but

Preaching to the choir, Lawrence. No matter how small the chance, I still look, especially if it's a book that I really like, which LD is. Nice find.
