Is this correct??

I always thought that only the density changes until a very high altitude.

Huh. I have read both the most recent edition, and the previous edition, of
that book from cover to cover and I never noticed that passage. I must've
been distracted or something.


Karl mistakenly omitted to leave in a hyphen. It's thus Page 18, not
21, but 2-1 is more precise

That's okay. I wasn't questioning whether the quoted text actually appeared
in the Handbook (I have no reason to doubt that it does). I was just
pondering out loud the oddity that I never actually noticed the text before,
in spite of having (presumably) read it.
