You know the RHE book that everyone talks about (The Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide), the absolute required reading before taking the Certification exam? Well that book was written by Simon Roberts, Michael Ernest and Phillip Heller. Michael Ernest helps out at JavaRanch quite a bit (Thank You Michael), but the other two have just popped in on occasion. This particular topic was about the wording on one page of the RHE book. He promised to fix it for the next printing.

This is the book:

I have thoroughly enjoyed the RHE book, and continue to refer to it often.
