5.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed by this new reprint
When I ordered this book I thought it is a second edition that includes new or revised chapters. I was wrong. The book itself is identical with the first edition (I wouldn't even say this is a second edition, it is a re-print), the only difference is that they give you a card with an access code to the www.aw-bc.com/dragonbook website where you can download some online...

3.0 out of 5 stars Content good, media a problem
I got the version 1/e plus selected online chapters 2/e
The book 1/e is great the online version the information is good BUT if you want to use it of line don't bother you can't download it ( its in flash ) and can't print it - well you can a page at a time but the characters are to small to read ( no adjustments ). For me the 2/e is unusable.

For 105$ it is pretty disappointing especially when you own the old book. The book description on the amazon website doesn't make it clear that you get the same book as before + online chapters.
