content: Just came across this. I had heard it was coming in 2015, but now its listed on amazon, and has a shipping date listed.http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Electronics-Paul-Horowitz/dp/0521809266/I wonder if there will be a softcover. >$100 is kinda pricey for a book to an amature/hobbiest.Heck for that matter, I wonder if there will be an electronic version for sale as well.Quote

content: I have a strong feeling that selling my 2nd edition won't cover anywhere near the cost of the 3rd edition, dang.I wonder if it's in color?

content: The UK price is a little cheaper - it is odd as we normally have to pay more for everything.But then we have to wait until June for it to come out.http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Art-Electronics-Paul-Horowitz/dp/0521809266/ref=dp_return_2?ie=UTF8&n=266239&s=books

content: Thanks, good to know.I'll wait and see what it looks like inside (i.e. color printing), but I suspect I'll wait for the international paperback version to release before buying.

content: Interesting. £46 seems affordable and $108 seems expensive. Perhaps prices are set by the market and they think Americans are richer?

content: The £46 becomes £50.74 (before postage) during the checkout (to FIN) and £49.36 for my German shipping address.£46.13 to Oregon, and shipping to the US is cheaper than to Finland. Funny store this Amazon thing.

content: I get a 20% discount at CUP but the Amazon price is currently discounted by 23%. If I'm still in the Cambridge area in June I'll probably buy it from the shop so I can see it in person.The cheaper UK price may reflect the fact that it is a UK publisher, but I've not come across this before - we're normally ripped off for everything price wise in the UK compared to the States - though we seem to do better than Europe where people have to pay even more!

content: Hobby, hobbier, hobbiest. It's a perfectly cromulent spelling.What I wonder is if Amazon really has the date right. Hasn't this happened before, optimistic ship dates that then get moved forward?

content: Quote from: Bassman59 on January 20, 2015, 05:45:40 pmi will struggle to afford it rather than wasting time in forum asking and receving trolls or uncertain answers (even if its free internet unlimited speed package) but well, amazon is not a field i'm really familiar with. this is n interesting announcement, i will keep this fact in mind. maybe one has to wait india? (red soft cover) version like my 2nd ed for cheaper price, but please prepare knitting tools around.
