Section 4.3 says:

   The total header size is also an issue.  The TCP header specifies   where segment data starts with a 4-bit field which gives the total   size of the header (including options) in 32-byte words.  This means   that the total size of the header plus option must be less than or   equal to 60 bytes -- this leaves 40 bytes for options.

It should say:

Correction for '32-byte words' to '32-bit words'.
