This is very helpfull. Thanks for pointing it out.

The mailing lists are still being sorted out (passwords need to be reset). Once that is in place the lpi-manuals-devel list  will be a convenient place to handle the errata.

Until then we can use this "request submission" utility, or you can mail me directly - -email is unavailable-

In the first chapter (The Linux Kernel), at the 3rd sub-chapter (Patching a Kernel), there is an option missing to the patch command you give as an example to make a backup copy of the modified files.
The original:
[...]
patch -B oldfiles/ -p0 < patch-file

The correct syntax:
patch -b -B oldfiles/ -p0 < patch-file

 Please advise if I should stop sending you this kind of letters or if I should send them to some other e-mail address.
