Happens to the best of them, even the high-end publishers. Like LeRoy King's 
"Streetcar Scenes of the 1950s" where the front cover is announced as "A route 
16 car, 946 is on W. Wells Street at N. Plankinton Avenue, Allentown, Pa. in 
September 10, 1952. Note City Hall in background."

A nice mélange, that, confounding the Milwaukee scene of the title page photo 
with the cover picture (LVT 901 climbing Hamilton Street westbound from the 
Lehigh Valley RR station towards Allentown's Center Square.)

But we're pickier nowadays than in the Bill Gordon era.

So, I hope somebody is preparing to send all this to Mr. Rohrbeck. If I were 
the author/publisher I'd want to be able to print a list of errata.
