Actually, Don does pay out some small power of two cents (I think $2.56)
for first reports of errors in the TeXbook, METAFONTbook, and `Computers
and Typesetting'. That is for typographic and factual errors: you won't
get anything for `this book is organised in entirely the wrong way'! 
Anyway, you wouldn't have been the first person to say it. I preserve
a careful neutrality on the matter, myself.
