Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation sounds like a great book for grammar nerds, but I am put off somewhat by the 1.5 punctuation errors in the title. (One is debatable and might be excused by context (it refers to a joke containing the phrase); the other is clearly wrong.)

In, I think, the T_EXbook, or possibly the L^AT_EX book, or some such similar book on computerized typesetting published by Addison-Wesley, on the very first page after the cover appeared the usual list of the publisher's cities, including "Signapore". You'd think that would be boilerplate that would just be copied and pasted into every book they did, but I guess not. This was less than 10 years ago, too, so it's not like the use of computers in publishing was a new thing. Not quite the same thing as here, but close.
