The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4A has been published

First of all, dupe.

Second: the headline is incorrect. The (hardcover edition of) Volume 4A won't be shipping for another week (January 22th.)

Finally: Volume 4A has been available in part for quite some time now (the first fascicles were published in 2005), and in whole for over a year (if you put all the paperback fascicles together.) Still, the publication in hardcover is certainly a milestone.

Putting all of your paperback fascicles together won't quite get you Volume 4A. They were beta versions and don't contain corrections that have happened since their release.

"Then I will publish a ``reader's digest'' edition of Volumes 1--5, condensing the most important material into a single book. "

-- After he finishes vol 4, and re-revises 1-3 again, then 5, and ... perfectionism is nice and all but, he's mortal - I hope he takes that into account.

Yeah, it would be great for most of us (his interested readers) if he just supervised a few post-docs to grind it all out. He could easily get the funding, but it's not his style.

I'm re-reading Volume 2, section 3 on Trees. On p.320 he makes the off-hand remark General methods for doing this are discussed in Chapter 8. What a sense of humor!
