Ditto. I currently do my shul's yearly calendar. I was very careful and successfully labeled Nov 4 of this year as "Eastern Standard Time", but I goofed on the zmanim for the Shabbos of Nov 2-3. This year that Shabbos is still on Daylight Time, but I had copied it from another year, in which it was already Standard Time.

I have a "First Edition, First Impression, June 1991" of ArtScroll's "Complete Tishah B'Av Service", Nusach Ashkenaz. When I got it, I phoned its editor, Rabbi Avie Gold to ask why he omitted Mizmor L'Sodah. He apologized, explaining that they simply copied Psukei D'Zimrah from the machzor for Chol Hamoed Pesach, and didn't notice the error until it was too late. Exactly like RRW is saying.
