Sybex 816 (Kindle) Chapter 11. Making the Constructor private, p. 899

The factory method in the code snippet is missing the static keyword (mentioned in the paragraph):

public static FoodOrder getOrder(string item, int count) {

[Campbell Ritchie]

That does sound like a mistake; l didn't find it reported here.
