commit 1f0b555e8735fbb3fa195a9a78a4f47db63c4023
Author: Miguel de Val-Borro <address@hidden>
Commit: Miguel de Val-Borro <address@hidden>
Book: correct minor typos
Some typos were found are corrected while reading several parts of the
book. In particular the "etc" abbreviation of "and so on" does not need
a conjunction beforehand and it usually follows a serial comma.
