Love to have an ebook version, of any kind.

Unfortunately, anything considered to be a textbook is immediately covered in expiring DRM like this:

O'Reilly's Safari has the first edition (volumes I and II). Within Safari, Volume I, 1st edition, is 26 tokens to download as a PDF.

No sign of the second edition, in Safari.

P.S. In addition to the X tokens per month that Safari members receive as part of whichever subscription plan, additional tokens are currently 5 for US$10.00, to give you a price point (so, $50 worth of tokens, with 4 tokens left over).

P.P.S. Whoops, just saw this on the Amazon page:

Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional; 2 edition (August 11, 2011)

So, maybe Safari will come through?

Brain wave. That would be $60 worth of tokens, with 4 tokens left over.

Anyone know what's changed in the new edition? Addition of IPv6, I assume?

Nice to see A-W keep developing these (and APUE, and UNP) after Stevens' passing. Hope Fall proves as good a choice here as Fenner did for the new UNP edition.

I just bought the first edition! Either way, this is an excellent book so far. It is written with a level of clarity and conciseness that makes it stand out from other resources on networking.

Stevens passed away in 1999 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Richard_Stevens) how does he write a second edition?

There's two authors credited. I assume Stevens maintains credit the portions that he authored, and Fall for the edits & additions.
