While you are phrasing this fairly politely, I think you
should not *assume* you have not gotten your most recent
"update". Rather you should ask: what is the definition of
an "update"? You seem to be defining it by the date on the
title page, but that need not be Travis's definition. (I
would agree that he could reduce some traffic on this list
by clarifying that, perhaps by versioning the book.)
Personally, I do not care to receive a copy each time a few
typos are corrected or some grammar is changed. I'd rather
receive a copy each time there are important additions or
corrections. I assume that this is Travis's practice.
Cheers,
