How about autographed copies? With errata? ("Damn it, it's *Bijan*, not "Bjarne"!! How could *I* get it wrong!?!?!?")
Y'know, I actually did pick up my copy and check...no, he's kidding :-)
There are a couple of HUGE errata, though -- and that's just from a quick lookthrough.
- Check out the Library of Congress material in the frontmatter. Sound vaguely familiar? It should -- they copy-pasted out of the textbook! They're describing the wrong book!
- The most bummer is that Craig had a delicious title and title graphic that Ian worked REALLY HARD to make work right in LaTeX...that someone in publication just completely cut out and replaced it with boring text.
