Speaking of the possible 3rd edition of The Art of Electronics...

There are 2 threads about it here, but as far as I can tell, one is about
patents, slavery, and Windows (?) and the other is about tsunamis. Topic
drift...

Have the authors revealed anything about their hypothetical 3rd edition of
this great book? Hopefully, it won't be mostly about tsunamis, or even
slavery.

There was a much better thread (in that it stayed on topic!)
concerning AoE 2nd in the last year or two, where I recall that Win
asked us for what changes we might want for a future edition (and ISTR
he said it may be a long while before a 3rd edition comes out). I
can't find the thread in google, but I recall I pointed out a
practically identical circuit that was in two of the "Circuit
ideas"/"bad circuits" sections.

Back then I bought copies of various mil specs and commercial
standards for schematic drawing and sent them to Winfield Hill.

We could pick the third topic in the thread, and write about memes.

ROTFLMAO - thanks, I need a good laugh.

Winfield Hill has contracted me to write the philosophy, politics and
religion chapters, so I might include something.

I need to rant about sex and race more, so I can write chapters on that
too =)

Nope. Those chapters were sub-contracted out to RSW.

Seriously, do you have any specific plans or ideas for the next edition?
 
I have several friends who want to know if it might be available in Braille.

That would end up being a HUGE book!

You may laugh but I heard of a guy who continued to mess around with
high-voltage valve radio after he went blind. If you asked him where
something was, he would nonchalantly wave his hand past EHT equipment and
say "over there somewhere".

I hope he had a damn good memory...

I knew an old ham in Hastings like that many years ago. He had an
almost supernatural ability to fault-find valve-based radio equipment.
Much respect due. He's almost certainly dead by now, though, sadly.
