I haven't seen the new edition but I have the 2nd, and while it's a certainly good book I think that the purple book is more comprehensive.
I once went to the library at the company I worked for and asked for help finding a book. I told the librarian the color of the book and even stated the main theorem of chapter two. Since she was paid to be friendly and helpful to the engineers, she did not tell me to bugger off, but I did not like the look she gave me. To avoid a repeat of that experience, maybe you could divulge the title?
Hell, it has four authors!
Or a few authors? -- Keith
