Looking at the prefaces to the 1989 and 2008 versions (available on Fulton's webpage here : math.lsa.umich.edu/~wfulton/CurveBook.pdf ), it appears that he only performed minor revisions. @Charles : Yes, I agree. It's a very nice place to learn standard material about compact Riemann surfaces (Riemann-Roch, Abel's thm, etc), but the second half is verbose enough that I haven't read much of it. | |

| Jul 20, 2010 at 21:29 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan | Andrew might be referring to earlier editions of Fulton. As far as I can tell, the earlier editions incorporated a lot more material than the current one. | |
| Jul 20, 2010 at 19:34 | comment | added | Andy Putman | While I do like the three books you mentioned, your description of them is bizarre (have you actually tried to read any of them?). Silverman is a much more advanced book than Fulton... | |
