## How does this differ from the previously released versions?
The book is now out of print, and hard to come by. Last time I checked it was going for over $200 on ebay.

The version which Michael and Dr. Dobbs released in 2001 was as a collection PDFs. This version is [still available](http://www.drdobbs.com/parallel/graphics-programming-black-book/184404919); however, the structure (multiple files) and the format (PDF) doesn't lend itself well to reading on a ebook reader or other mobile device.

This version has been thoroughly cleaned of artefacts and condensed into something which can be easily converted into a ebook friendly format. You can read this version online at Github, or download any of the Epub or Mobi releases. You can clone the repository and generate your own version with [pandoc](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) if necessary.

There's some larger changes that could be made to help preserve the content longer term. I'd love to see some of the images converted to a vector representation so we can provide higher-resolution versions, and similarly formulas and maths could be represented in MathML.
