Manual update method:
1) Find a pen or marker that reasonably matches the book's cover background.
2) Make light markings such that the "8" is obscured.
3) Find a pen or marker of the correct shade and width to hand inscribe the
typeface used for the "i".
4) After the "i" write out "ntelligence."
You have successfully improved the relationship of the book's title to the
book's true contents.
"Regards,"

"My strategy for tackling problems is the same regardless of the
version of Oracle with which I am working, so when you read this book
you don't really have to worry about which version of Oracle you are
using. "
I have to say that I think if I were recommending a book to start with
- especially for someone who is new to Oracle but not to the field in
general - I'd go for Expert One on One Oracle from Tom Kyte.
I haven't read DBA 101 (sorry Rachel) but that ought to be a pretty
good foundation type book as well.
