| Sep 16, 2010 at 22:44 | comment | added | Charles Staats | Suggestion: If you see a book listed that is in print, perhaps you should make a note of this (by editing or commenting) but leave it so that people who thought the book was out of print may be pleasantly surprised. | |

| Mar 18, 2010 at 20:23 | comment | added | Jonas Meyer | Oh, I see that you mistook me for the person who wrote those words. "Ownership" of a post can sometimes be confusing, especially in community wiki. I made a couple of minor edits to the post by Martin Bright. Click to the right of the word "edited" above to see the details, and notice that in the bottom right of the question Martin Bright's name appears. Anyway, Martin Bright was merely exaggerating, but if you are correct about the popularity of real books among young students, then I am glad. No one here has disputed the goodness of low-tech. | |
| Mar 18, 2010 at 20:13 | comment | added | The Mathemagician | Jonas,I quote: "Perhaps nobody under 30 actually reads real books made from trees any more, but personally I find it more convenient to refer to a paper copy, to the extent that I will happily buy a copy of something which is available free on-line (like SGA 1 and 2, or Milne's Arithmetic Duality Theorems)."End quote.I know how you feel on the issue-just telling you people are coming back to old fashioned paper because of the drawbacks to the high tech approach as it currently stands.Which is good news for us all. | |
| Mar 18, 2010 at 19:31 | comment | added | Jonas Meyer | You differ with me on what, Andrew L? I have no idea what you're talking about. I love real books. | |

| Mar 18, 2010 at 18:39 | comment | added | The Mathemagician | Uh,I beg to differ,Jonas. Young students are starting to burn out thier eyes and get migraines reading too much from a quartz screen.So they're starting to not only go back to paper books,but requesting titles from wise old self-studiers like me. Sometimes low-tech is good. | |
| Mar 16, 2010 at 9:55 | comment | added | Martin Bright | Great, Néron models does indeed seem to be in print now. I should have checked before posting. | |
| Mar 16, 2010 at 1:38 | comment | added | Jonas Meyer | I removed Néron models because it appears to be in print, as AS pointed out. | |

| Mar 15, 2010 at 15:26 | comment | added | Tom Leinster | Reprints in Theory and Applications of Categories (tac.mta.ca/tac/reprints) makes it its business to reprint out-of-print books in category theory. At least five books, plus a bunch of classic but hard-to-get-hold-of papers, have appeared so far. If you have suggestions, contact me or another editor. | |
