No Worries.
Jonathan has a patch available for his book, to upgrade it to the latest
Oracle version. The patch just replaces the 8i part of the picture with
the original background. I saw this at Hotsos 2004. Publishers think
they can boost sales by printing the latest version number on the cover.
It's a pity that on the long term good books suffer from this policy.
James even made his book free available in PDF on his website.
Best regards,
