That's not anal at all, it's a desire to know which is correct.
I'm not speaking about this book (which I have but it has not yet reached the top of the reading pile) or indeed this author, but I regularly find large numbers of similar "anomalies". In a similar type-based book (not a Classic title) by another author (which I'm not going to name) I found nearly 30 (eg photo caption says A, text says B; text says C, production list in annex says D, etc etc). The author was quite dismissive when I told him. He had clearly proof-read the actual text (grammar etc), but had clearly not given it to a "numbers-nerd" for cross-checking...
