P. 62: "In this example, you created the belt as a separate object, so you must now join the meshes by selecting both mesh objects in Object mode and pressing Ctrl+J." should be "In this example, you created the belt as a separate object, so it will be necessary join the meshes by selecting both mesh objects in Object mode and pressing Ctrl+J. However, at the moment there is a mirror modifier on the body, but not on the belt, which will lead to doubled vertices on the belt if you join them now. It's best to wait until after you apply the modifier at the end of the modeling process and then join the two meshes together."
