Most of those errors are on the pedantic side (though a few are
blatant). If you look at his work in a big picture sort of way, and
verify all of his statements yourself (a very important skill to master
as a c coder, imo) then hes a good read.

I've never read his java books, nor have I heard reports of
inaccuracies in any of his books other than those about c and c++, nor
am I a java coder.
