Sorry this question is not about TeX, but there is no comp.text.knuth :=) Does anybody know if Knuth's book "3,16" is out. If so, what is the publisher and maybe ISBN? -- Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.ruu.nl>

RF> OK - nobody seems to have answered, but _what's_ "3,16" 3,16 (for the actual title see below) is a book Knuth wrote - I believe - in his sabbatical year. For a bible study class he wanted to get a rather representative selection of Bible verses. Rather than the usual study on a certain topic or on one book only, he choose to take the same verse from all books, and he choose chapter 3 verse 16 of each book (if applicable). The book just contains the studies of all these verses. He had well-know calligraphers or designers all around the world write the text of each verse in an artistic way. This is the reference: From: karl@gnu.ai.mit.edu (Karl Berry) Yes, 3:16 has been published, by A-R editions in Wisconsin. You can get from John Neal Bookseller,in Greensboro, NC (I think, although I seem to be remembering Maryland for some reason). It's pretty nice. 3:16 Bible texts illuminated ISBN 0-89579-252-4 A-R Editions, Inc. 801 Deming Way Madison, WI 53717-1903 (608) 836-9000 -- Piet* van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, Utrecht University, Padualaan 14, P.O.

Apparently, this book isn't on the "Books in Print" list, so things got a little complicated: in addition to the information above, my bookstore needed a price. So I called the publisher at the number listed above. It seems that they have been getting a lot of calls about this book recently, as the lady who answered the phone guessed that I was inquiring about "3:16" (I explained to her about Knuth, TeX, and USENET; I don't know if she understood it all, but she now knows their phone number is around the world by now :-) ). Anyway, the price is $29.95; with that and the information above, I was able to order the book from my local bookstore. BTW, this publisher specializes in music typesetting; there was a blurb about them in a recent "UNIX Today!" Dan -- =========================================================================== J.
