Default Question for Bob Gardner

Bob, in your book "The Complete Advanced Pilot" - Third Edition, in the
section on turbine engines on page 13-6 you state:

"The control quadrant will have three sets of knobs, like any other twin,
but one set will be called 'condition levers'. The throttle and mixture
controls perform their usual functions, while the condition levers are
similar but not identical to prop controls."

Shouldn't that last sentence read: "The throttle and prop controls perform
their usual functions, while the condition levers are similar but not
identical to mixture controls."?

I am trying to get a better understanding of the use of the "condition
levers" and the effects of their settings of "High Idle" and "Low Idle".

Thanks,
Art Varrassi
