Here's another one..  on numbered page 82, pdf page 84:

In this example 'bindir.h' is not distributed, not installed, and it
is not even being built on-time. One may wonder what the
'nodist_foo_SOURCES = bindir.h' line has any use at all.

These two sentences are grammatically incorrect.  The first sentence
can be fixed by changing ", not" to "nor", as in:  'bindir.h' is not
distributed nor installed

An alternative is to remove "it" from "and it is", though the first
solution is more elegant.

The second sentence could be fixed most easily by changing "wonder
what" to "wonder whether or not" or "wonder if", though other options
are available.  "One may wonder what use the 'nodist_foo_SOURCES =
binder.h' line has at all" works, as well.  It's up to the author's
discretion.
