- anuragramdasan 13y agoLibraries usually keep Indian editions of the book. I haven't checked for TAOCP but that was atleast the case with Kernighan and Ritchie.
- mtdewcmu 13y agoDo you have access to a university library? One thing about Knuth -- he gets cited a lot, so I figure I'll absorb some of the choicest parts without having to go to the source. I have to admire your ambition to just charge through it.
- anuragramdasan 13y agoIts actually a fun read once you start approaching it sequentially. I haven't read all of it yet, but whatever I have read, its been interesting and not that difficult.
