It took me more time than I had expected because I was also making a note of all mistakes that I should have avoided in the first place and also a note of all the improvements that can be made in the next edition (if any).  I would like to list all the mistakes and keep it transparent, so in the link below you can check the list of mistakes. If you happen to notice any other mistakes that are not listed, please do let me know. Also, if you would like to share how this book has helped you, please do.  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Sdc68dgzZxcedEPaaUoeAW5Zi8a215ScXBhunzXgrPs/edit?usp=sharing
