Which version of the book are you using?

I have the first edition, but I have checked that this is not corrected in the online version or the errata.

Please specify the chapter and section number(s)

Section 5.1

Please describe any problems in as much detail as possible, and feel free
to suggest fixes.

In:"NLTK provides documentation for each tag, which can be queried using the tag, e.g. nltk.help.upenn_tagset('RB'), or a regular expression, e.g. nltk.help.upenn_brown_tagset('NN.*'). Some corpora have README files with tagset documentation, see nltk.corpus.???.readme(), substituting in the name of the corpus."

nltk.help.upenn_brown_tagset('NN.*') should be either
nltk.help.brown_tagset('NN.*')
OR
nltk.help.upenn_tagset('NN.*')
