Some books quote the maximum size of an Ethernet frame as 1522 bytes instead of
1500 bytes. Are they wrong? Explain your answer.

The payload is 1500 bytes, but when the destination address, source address, type/length, and checksum fields are counted,
plus the VLAN header, the total is indeed 1522. Prior to VLANs, the total was 1518.
