Yes, the book was really poorly edited. It basically reads like a straight printing of his notebook, typos included. You have ‘lime’, ‘fresh lime juice’ ‘half a lime’, ‘the juice of half a lime’, ‘lime juice’ and ‘Rose’s Lime Juice Cordial’. No consistency at all. Same with sherry: he ‘specifies’ the type for the Bamboo (‘Dry’) but not for the Adonis. 
To be sure, Daiquiri style drinks with a hint of fino can be things of beauty but I don’t think that’s what they were looking for here.
