5.0 out of 5 stars Very good but HARD to find!, June 17, 1999

This review is from: A Course in Universal Algebra (Graduate Texts in Mathematics) (Hardcover)

This is one of the more recent basic texts on Universal Algebra. It is very well written, and is an absolute MUST for students of the subject, as well as a great resource for researchers. Unfortunately, it is out of print and extremely difficult to find. I have been looking for a copy in English for seven years with no success. Fortunately, there is a Hungarian edition (with a special appendix on Clones) available to those willing to break the language barrier (no small feat...) When will this classic text be reprinted?

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book. I still don't have one and I'm mad about it, June 28, 1999

This review is from: A Course in Universal Algebra (Graduate Texts in Mathematics) (Hardcover)

The book is excellent introduction to Universal Algebra. In fact, I cannot imagine a person studying the subject who is not familiar with this (already) classic book. The only bad part is that it is impossible to find. Please, print it again. I'll by 10, two for me (one for the office and one for home) and the rest for my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Though I haven't read it yet,, October 6, 2002

I found it(the millenium edition) online as a pdf or ps file. I think this book is good because I see it in many bibliography of the books of related subjects. Try any search engine under the book title.
