I don’t think OOTPB gets it wrong.

Someone can earn a save by entering a game in the 6th (or any later) inning, if:his team is ahead by no more than three runs at the time, he never gives up the lead, and he finishes the game.

If a pitcher enters a game in a save situation and gives up the lead, he earns a blown save, at best, regardless of what happens after his team lost the lead (and regardless of what inning it is when that happens). At worst, he gets the loss if a runner he was responsible for scores to put his team behind and his team never thereafter ties the score or regains the lead.

A blown save is not explicitly defined, except to say (as Wikipedia does) that someone gets a BS when he could have had a save but didn’t succeed. Again, this can occur in any inning from the 6th on. Thus, it’s possible for more than one pitcher to earn a blown save in the same game.
