Can you give an example of something that contradicts what people say on this site or that you've found on ErrorRef.com?

In regards to the 1982 d small date its not showing it as a in correct planchet error. One off the top of my head. There are more. I just want to know if its crediable for refrence to price of identification of error types.

@comm, with regard to pricing, I would argue that virtually all books are hopelessly out of date even on the day of their printing. In the case of this specific book, that seems to have occurred on April 11, 2014. Even if the author was adjusting prices on April 10th of that year, it seems to me that prices in August of 2025 (i.e. now) are likely different in many cases.

I am slightly concerned that the picture on the front cover - the thing which is supposed to attract you to the book - is actually mirror-reversed. Having such a basic mistake on the front cover does not speak highly of their editorial process.

Hmm good point @sap, but I suppose that this could be purposeful. It is a book about errors.

It has the look of a self-published book. You have great eyes to catch the cover image reversal!

Well, you've got to give the guy credit for calling his own work "unsurpassed". :D
