Are pages 358, 373, 379, 396, 530 misprinted or scanned sloppily?
- yuuu 5y agoThis sounds entitled.
- Taywee 5y agoSounds like a pretty straightforward question to me. There's no reason to be defensive about flaws in a math book scan, even if it's largely a cool thing.
- yuuu 5y agoHe edited his comment. Substantially. The original comment told people that because five pages were missing, "either do it right or don't do it at all." That was basically all he said. Great guy, getting me flagged by completely changing his response without acknowledging there was an edit.
- PostOnce 5y agoWow, sorry to hear that. Obviously, when it comes to technical information, something is better than nothing. It's good to know if something's missing so you can go find it, but of course anyone would rather have half a nonfiction book than no book at all, because that still has value.
- PostOnce 5y agoin addition and much more importantly: if no one points out flaws, flaws can not and will not be fixed.
- codetrotter 5y agoThe book in the updated link [1] does not have the problem that the old link had I think, if you were talking about how for example on page 358 the page had become split so that the rightmost part of the page had been cut off and placed on the left side of the page. I didn’t check the other pages because I’m on mobile, but since page 358 looks good in the new link the others might too.

- shimonabi 5y agoLook closely. The first half of the letter on each line is faded. (I'm the refering to the pages of the book, not the pages of the PDF)
- codetrotter 5y agoHere's a screenshot of what I see when I look at page 358 of the updated link, which looks fine to me: https://snipboard.io/OwvDXH.jpg https://snipboard.io/OwvDXH.jpg I don't see the fading that you are talking about. Meanwhile, here is a screenshot of the way that page 358 of the book in the original link is broken when I look at it both on desktop https://snipboard.io/G9ohqg.jpg https://snipboard.io/G9ohqg.jpg and on mobile https://snipboard.io/VXYHC0.jpg https://snipboard.io/VXYHC0.jpg
- shimonabi 5y agoThe top of the page is fine. The fading starts in the lower half of the page. Are you trolling?
- codetrotter 5y agoI scrolled down and looked closer there and see it now. It was more subtle so I didn’t notice.
- yuuu 5y agoThanks for getting me flagged by completely overhauling your comment without recognizing its original content.
