Just wanted to say: Whoever updated the texts from the original web version to the version used in the book, they did a very good job. So far I have compared only one chapter, but I am impressed. The changes are typically rephrasing a part of a sentence, or reordering some paragraphs, but the new version feels better. I am happy to have a more polished version of the Sequences, in addition to just another format.

(I am not proofreading. I translated some of the original articles to Slovak, and now I am updating my translations using the version from the book, with the goal of making a translation of the whole book one day. This is why I automatically noticed the differences between the original and the new versions.)
