Mike,
I read Popular Electronics and other magazines of that type inthe 1970's.
One magazine issue had a large Star image on the cover with the BASIC code for
TRS-80.
I went to a Radio Shack store one evening and typed in the program on the
TRS-80 demo.
After running it, it didn't work so I did a LIST and saw I had entered it
correctly.
I changed one entry and got the program working as it should 

I wrote the publisher and told them their code had a mistake and I included the
correction I made.
