A good introductory lecture is by Emre Telatar of EPFL. It's a great talk, and presents a unique view on Shannon's paper. [Of course, I am assuming that _you_ are not Emre :) ] It mentions some of the errors in Shannon's paper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FlHZwEpvPE&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FlHZwEpvPE&feature=youtu.be There are some more errors in his formulation of what eventually came to be known as the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem. These are the errors I know of, there may be more. The greatness of the paper is its revolutionary conception of a new area ab initio. It contains errors, but that is overshadowed by what it achieved and brought forth.
