Section Appendix A says:

A.1.  Literals Length Code Table

                +=======+========+================+======+
                | State | Symbol | Number_Of_Bits | Base |
                +=======+========+================+======+
                |   0   |   0    |       0        |  0   |

A.2.  Match Length Code Table

                +=======+========+================+======+
                | State | Symbol | Number_Of_Bits | Base |
                +=======+========+================+======+
                |   0   |   0    |       0        |  0   |

A.3.  Offset Code Table

                +=======+========+================+======+
                | State | Symbol | Number_Of_Bits | Base |
                +=======+========+================+======+
                |   0   |   0    |       0        |  0   |

                |   0   |   0    |       5        |  0   |
                +-------+--------+----------------+------+

It should say:

A.1.  Literals Length Code Table

                +=======+========+================+======+
                | State | Symbol | Number_Of_Bits | Base |
                +=======+========+================+======+
                |   0   |   0    |       4        |  0   |
                +-------+--------+----------------+------+

A.2.  Match Length Code Table

                +=======+========+================+======+
                | State | Symbol | Number_Of_Bits | Base |
                +=======+========+================+======+
                |   0   |   0    |       6        |  0   |
                +-------+--------+----------------+------+

A.3.  Offset Code Table

                +=======+========+================+======+
                | State | Symbol | Number_Of_Bits | Base |
                +=======+========+================+======+
                |   0   |   0    |       5        |  0   |
                +-------+--------+----------------+------+

Notes:

Each of the three tables in Appendix A contain two entries for state 0, the first of which in each case incorrectly reports the Number_Of_Bits as 0. The all-zero rows should be removed.
