Useful, but includes errors

There aren't many inexpensive, easy-to-use sources for actual reading levels and interest levels for elementary school grade titles. So I found this book very useful while compiling a holdings list for high/low books in our library, BUT... In the Alphabetical Listing of Authors, there are errors such as listing the 309 page Young Adult novel "Fallen Angels" as being on the second grade reading level. In another section, it's listed correctely as Grade 9 reading level. After finding a couple of mistakes like this, I felt the need to double-check everything, which was rather annoying. The book is definitely still useful even with these flaws, but I thought a warning to other readers might be useful.
