Title: Eighth edition - introduces new content (?) and errors
Product review: I'll mirror the less favorable reviews regarding the content in the chapters and the exercises at the end of each. It would be nice to learn enough from the pages in the book to answer them, without having to refer to outside resources that provide much better explanations of the content. If you knew enough to fill in the gaps left in the reading material, for what reason would you still need to buy the book?What bugs me even more is to find all sorts of errors in the book at this price. Yes, writing a book is hard work, but if the proofreaders can't catch a decimal value in a binary field... The first year/first printing of a new edition should be half-priced.At least the publisher should host a wiki to allow these errata contributions rather than waiting for the errata sheet to be released. Maybe Amazon could offer user-submitted errata for books it carries?
