Just got my preordered copy today and have been reading through it. Does everyone else's copy have several references to a "Chapter 1x"? It seems like they meant to go back and change the reference later, but never got around to it. I've seen it several times now. Pages 2 (footnote 4), 4, 5 (end of gray box on resistors), and 20. There are probably more, but I'm just on page 20.

Read the preface to the third edition.

Did anyone else order their book from Book Depository?
I received an email saying that they sent it on March 28th and that shipping to European countries takes 4-8 business days, so it should already be here.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

No problem with my order from them. Arrived about 7 business days after "dispatch"

Yes... I'm in the US, and it's supposed to take 5-8 business days, and is overdue...

ETA: my copy was shipped from England on 3/28, and delivered on 4/16, so I guess they are very optimistic about delivery time.

Same here.

The same is true for chapters 2, 3, 4 and 9. The "x" refers to an upcoming book with advanced material. The really bad news is, that we will have to wait several years for it. I have written about it in my review (at the bottom of the page):

I hate everything.

I hate everything.

Something tells me that you're this guy.



Also, I laughed my ass off at the 'We're not worthy' bit.

Heads up for anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon US.  I ordered mine in January for $108 and yesterday I got an automatic refund because other sellers are offering a lower price.

Make sure you get your refund if you didn't already.

I didn't get any "refund" emails, but the final price was 77.30 USD when it shipped even though it was 108 when I pre-ordered too.  I think that's an automatic thing, and it's based on the lowest price since you pre-ordered so if the 77.30 price was before your pre-order it might still be more as the final price.

[MarkL]

Ah, you're right.  Checked my credit card statement and they only charged me the final price of $77.30.

[houdini]

Hmm any idea when you had to pre-order for that price?  I think i pre-ordered a few weeks ago but it went through at 108 even though they seem to be $77 right now.

I pre-ordered in January at the $108 price.

Just arrived.

I am SOOO glad there is no dust jacket for the 3rd edition.

[Kohanbash]

Funny that they wrote that this will be the final version of this book.

[hikariuk]

Mine went through at £46.13 (I put the order on Amazon back in January).

[RetroDan™]

Funny that they wrote that this will be the final version of this book.

Just ordered my copy. 

Why are they saying that the third edition will be the final one?  I mean, sure, it's been around since 1980 (I think that was the first edition), and 35 years is a long time to be updating the same book, but technology advances steadily.

They are probably retiring?

It is not surprising that they are thinking that. I was surprised they wrote that in the forward for the third edition. With that said they are still planning on writing another book with the chapters they had to leave out as well as a student lab book.

FYI do not order from Amazon seller ---SuperBookDeals. 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.
