Sure, there are errors.  Ever seen the errata on that czeck site?  
That was rather up-to-date, and I beleive it was approved by
Scott Sanders himself (publicating the whole book wasn't).

Errors notwidthstanding, The Compendium is nonetheless the only
Atari-approved 3rd-party documentation.  It is also the reference
used by most programmers out there.  It might not be perfect, but
its reference status means we should be carefull about breaking
any function it documents.
