Of course just about all chess books prior to the chess engine revolution are filled with errors. Here's IM Silman confessing to this inconvenient truth (while at the same time decreeing chess engines off-limits for amateurs!):
Chess engines and databases weren’t around when I wrote that book (the same goes for the early editions of How to Reassess Your Chess), and I was using pen and paper, with a chess set on the table.
As a result, the Amateur’s Mind was filled with errors. And, of course, once chess engines were a dime a dozen, the know-it-alls not only gleefully pointed this out, they claimed the book was terrible due to those mistakes.
But, that’s completely wrong. The Amateur’s Mind is an exceptionally instructive book, and like all my work, it’s about concepts that will help most amateurs improve their chess understanding.

It would still be nice to know specifically about these errors, especially to their number and severity, that we might form our own judgments.
Then there's the question of how much these errors damage the effectiveness of the book to teach endgames.
