"More than forty years in the making, the long-anticipated Volume 4 of The Art of Computer Programming is about to make its debuta. in parts. Rather than waiting for the complete book, Dr. Knuth and Addison-Wesley are publishing it in installments ("fascicles") a la Charles Dickens.
See http://www.bookpool.com/.x/xx/ct/163 for an excerpt and more info on Volume 4. And Addison-Wesley is offering Bookpool customers an exclusive sneak peek -- the first official excerpt from the series." (above from the same site) Yippee! Laura -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
