My copy of the CMOS CookBook is a 5th printing from 1980.  The book was copyrighted in 1977.  So based on the 2010 date at a minimum it was still being sold 33 years later.  That's really quite astonishing for a book on device level  electronics technology.  And a very strong testimony to the quality of Don's writing.

BTW typical printing code now is a list of integers from 1 to N  and the first integer in the list is the printing. It appears on the copyright page.

Here's the copyright page on mine, attached below. Is it part of the ISBN? I'm confused about the little explanation because I can't find any numbers that match what it describes.

Yea well nuf said, if in the US they want hot houses and silly temperature measuring systems that is up to them, the rest of the world reads that differently.

I think it's the switch to "book on demand" printing which was something Don championed.  So there no longer are printings in the traditional sense for low volume books.  But there's actually a 2nd edition in 1997, but it's pricey.  I'd guess it's being used in college and votech courses.  You still have to learn digital logic even though you're more likely to use an FPGA.  The fact that the 2nd ed has a 2nd author is a clear sign that Don just didn't want to keep writing books.  So when Sams asked for a revised edition, Don told them to hire another writer.

The thing that is *really* amazing is that Don's major classics are still in print after over 40 years!  I cannot think of any electronics book that has been in print that long.  Wow!!!!

That's not a guru, that's a Bodhisattva!!!
