A couple more...

Page 72 says that Matt Robinson played Gordon for only two years, and Hal Miller only one... each one year short of their actual stints; although, the years cited for Hal Miller's stint were correctly given.

There's actually a contradictory error on page 83: at the top where Elmo is seen posing with Celina and Mr. Handford, the caption incorrectly states that David Langston Smyrl was the first Mr. Handford... then the caption for the collection of photos at the bottom correctly states that Leonard Jackson played Mr. Handford for one year, before David Smyrl took over the role until his departure in 1998. Also, it says Mr. Hooper's assistant, Tom, was on the show from 1978 to 1979, even though he was a fixture during Season Three (1971-1972).

And, did anyone notice that there's really no mention of Carlo? There are a couple of photos of him in the book, but nothing written about him, and he was significant part of the cast during the 90s, especially when he became the new helper in Hooper's Store, after he and Gina switched jobs.
