She doesn't say not to ignore it, but instead to "hold on" to it, as it 
will be valuable someday.  The "valuable" there refers to money - because 
once the correction has been made and the corrected versions are released, 
they will inevitably become more plentiful, making those early - and 
uncorrected - editions worth a great deal more to collectors, simply 
because of their rarity, much like how "First Editions" are considered more 
valuable.
