Screwing up punctuation, in a story about punctuation, when speaking of a book about punctuation

This New York Times story about a crusade for proper use of the semicolon begins with the dreaded 'correction appended.'

Please, you look:

Correction: February 19, 2008 An article in some editions on Monday about a New York City Transit employee’s deft use of the semicolon in a public service placard was less deft in its punctuation of the title of a book by Lynne Truss, who called the placard a “lovely example” of proper punctuation. The title of the book is “Eats, Shoots & Leaves” — not “Eats Shoots & Leaves.” (The subtitle of Ms. Truss’s book is “The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation.”)

The irony — it's too much! Don't look directly at it!!
