I should have checked the book, it's correct in Table 4.1 on page 60. I'll correct the chart. Yes, you’re absolutely right, the spreadsheet was missing the negative sign.

Q3 2008 Revised is roughly +3%, while this page (http://useconomy.about.com/od/economicindicators/a/GDP-statistics.htm) says Q3 2008 GDP: -2.7%. It appears that you forgot the negative. Also (and more seriously), Q4 2008 Advance is roughly +4%, while this page (http://useconomy.about.com/od/economicindicators/a/GDP-statistics.htm) says implies -3.8%. Again it is missing the negative. I should declare that I haven't checked all the figures, just the ones that looked "out of whack". I believe your graph may have errors in it.
