Just after formula 2.2.13 (page 45 in my copy), there is the following statement:

The first term cMW depends upon the distribution of the zero lift coefficient clo(y) as can be seen by Formula (2.2.12).
(My emphasis)

But in Figure 2.1.3 (page 36 in my copy), clo(y) is defined as the lift at an AoA of 0.0 degrees. So is the above statement an error? I think it is, but want to see what others here on HBA think. I checked the errata sheet, but this is not mentioned.
