Pulling a book because of a typo is also a unreasonable overreaction. It would be better without typos, but I'd still rather read a book with a typo than not having the book at all. This is even more of an overreaction than it would be to pull software that has any bugs whatsoever.
Edit: typos

For technical education material (both mechanical engineering and optics recently for me), I definitely don't buy books where the comments indicate a lot of typos. It's a real PITA to be working through practise exercises, and come up with a different result than the expected answer. Then not know if it's me, or the book author who got it wrong. :( For fiction books though, an occasional typo is not a stress.
