One more for the book shelf

Knuth releases the second fascicle of his next volume.

The first time I laid my hands on Knuth's Art of Computer Prgramming tomes was when Pandu notoriously encouraged each of us to start building our personal libraries. Knuth has finally (after forty years!) started releasing sections of his next volume. I think this guy's efforts are laud-worthy because CS has long ceased to be a field where someone can write a classic. But this guys works definitely merit the 'classic' tag. Since this is a pre-release web copy, he offers cash for each error found (including typographical) and a mention in the book for a better solution to the examples. That's one way you get students who buy the books and let them gather dust on the bookshelves, to actually read them.
