Unfortunately, all textbooks have errors, even in their 4th edition. Below I will add mistakes that I or you notice. If you see others, please let me know and I will add.

There is also a link to errata on the publisher's website.

Location	Error
p. 13	Fig 1.8 - relative values of Z=2 are not correct, for example, Z=2,n=2 should align with Z=1,n=1
answer to E1.15(a)	Sc is [Ar]3d14s2
Table 1.2	for l=1, ml = ±1 ...Y should be (3/2)1/2sinθe±iθ .....in other words, the first 3 should not be there
Figure 2.67 p.39	the left two resonance structures for NO2F should NOT have a non-bonding pair on the N atom. (bad error, arrghhh!) N has an oxidation state of +5 in NO2F, no one will argue with that, so no lone pair on N would be reasonable.
Fig 2.35	the 90 deg and 180 deg labels on the x axis are reversed
