NPN question typo or my misunderstanding

[KrNx2Oh7]

Ok so I'm reviewing npn transistors and here is what I am looking at

http://postimage.org/image/sdywponvv/

Now the book I bought says Ib = (VE + 0.6V)/R1
I have no idea why it would be that

Isn't it suppose to be

(Vcc -0.6V)/R1 for Ib

The transistor is definitely on as emitter is grounded
and it says that there isn't too big of a voltage drop over the collector side light bulb so it should be in linear region

So Typo or am I misunderstanding something

You are right.
