I think the 3rd edition is a marked improvement over the 2nd edition. The feel of the book is much more like the older "pink" versions of The Camel Book... and I like it a lot better. There are subtle differences in the presentation and type face that give the book the more concise feel of the earlier edition. I really like the revised layout, and the slight decrease in the amount of whitespace on the pages. It really enhances the readability.


The content is superb... I think the re-write enhances the material dramatically. Definately worth the price... although as Perl gets more popular the books get more expensive. :)


Thanks to the authors and editors for a good product! (although, I'll probably still refer to my "pink" copy from time to time. )
