DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SELLER!!!! I placed an order on the 12th at a price of $77 + S&H. Today, I received a notice that my order has been canceled due to the book being "out of stock". Upon visiting their seller store today, I see that the book is still listed as in stock, but the price has gone up $20. Very unscrupulous seller -- unwilling to honor a sale having already taken my money.

I received a confirmation from Amazon that my copy was shipped on the 9th. Warning sign though of no package tracking info available, with package delivery between 15 and 30 April.  I'll let you know if I receive the book.

Best to leave negative feedback with Amazon if you already haven't done so. Just be specific in your complaint.

My AoE 3 arrived yesterday from Amazon. Packing was nothing special....a box slightly bigger than the book and some crushed thick packing paper on top of it. Little edge damage though.

No chance to read any of it yet but it is certainly quite a tome !

Still awaiting delivery of my used copy of AoE 2 to compare with it.

Glad to have got a copy of this book as, if it lives up to its reputation on this forum, it will be very useful in the years ahead.

I will be leaving negative feedback for sure. I also chatted with Amazon and they're gonna sell me a copy for the same price. Amazon CS is second to none IMO.

Glad to know you got some satisfaction out of the deal.  Why people have to make life so unnecessarily complicated, I will never really understand.

I got mine from them. It took 3 weeks for it to arrive, and they packaged it in a really flimsy way, so the cover got beat up. I left negative feedback, but overall I got this great book at a significant discount; and I heard that Amazon's own packaging was also below standards for many people.

It would be interesting to know if anybody who got his copy recently, already received the 2nd printing.

It should be indicated on the copyright page (one of the first pages of the book). Or you could look at page 37, figure 1.78. In the 1st printing it has a very obvious error with two diodes in parallel (the text makes it clear that the intention is to have them anti-parallel). This should certainly be fixed in the 2nd printing. And other errors too, here is the errata list:

Yowser ! Lots of errors in the published version  :o

I thought these things were proof read many times to avoid such.
I expect too much me thinks  ;D

Thanks for bringing my attention to the errata page  :-+

That's not a lot. That's surprisingly few for the first print of a >1000 page technical textbook.
