5.0 out of 5 stars what is a title?

This is a GREAT book.
Unfortunately, I lost mine.
I wanted to buy volume 1, third edition, to replace the lost book but I got volume 2, second edition. Because volume 1 is SO GREAT book, I decided to keep volume 2 as well. How can be sure I ordered the needed one?

3.0 out of 5 stars Buy part one first
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2009

This is the second volume of a classic text in probability. However the references to the first volume are ubiquitous. The first volume is more introductory and hence more readable for someone like me that is not expert in probability theory. I used volume one years ago and remember it as being much more appropriate at my level. It does amaze me that the topics are highly relevant today with the current interest in stable distributions in finance and hydrology. I give it 3 stars because of the many references to part one, so it does not stand alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Classical Book
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2005
I used volume I in my class in probability at CALTECH in 1980/81. While never sacrificing rigor, Prof. Feller had the rare gift of explaining difficult things is such away, that they would become not only mathematically clear, but also intuitively obvious.

I consider this book one of the best math books available!

4.0 out of 5 stars the most thought provoking probability book ever written
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2008
This is the book we called Feller Volume II in graduate school. We used it to sharpen our intuition about probability. Feller was a master at explaining difficult things in simple ways. This includes the waiting time paradox and Benford's laws. For structure and rigor we looked elsewhere, Chung and/or Neveu. But Feller's books brought a joy and love for the subject. No statistician or probabilist should be without a copy on his shelf!
In spite of the fact that Feller produced one of the most general versions of the central limit theorem, there are no asymptotic theorems or proofs in this book.
