(d),y addressing typo
For (d),y adressing, shouldn't the formula be:
PEEK(PEEK(arg) + (PEEK((arg + 1) % 256) * 256) + y)
instead of
PEEK(PEEK(arg) + PEEK((arg + 1) % 256) + y)
?

Phrasing doesn't match table
The line:
"The (d),y mode is used far more often than (d,x)."
Should be modified to match the declaration pattern in the proceeding table, as follows:
"The (d,y) mode is used far more often than (d,x)." --SirGouki
