Hi Shilo!<br>
<br>
As today is the official "GeoPackage Day"[1], I wonder if you could just <br>
proceed with your plan, and create a pull request of your changes <br>
towards the github docs repository[2].<br>
<br>
Thank you and happy GeoPackage Day, ha! :)<br>
<br>

Thanks Jeff and Shilo<br>
<br>
<br>
If you submit a PR Shilo, pop me a note, I will be happy to review it. That book was written a loooong time ago when GeoPackage was still a speck in someone’s imagination :-) Glad you are still finding it useful.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
