Today I looked for the TeX book at one of our local book stores, they were carrying the 10th printing (june 1990) of the hard cover version. This printing does cover the new features of TeX 3.x (I lookep for `\language' in the index). Is there a more recent printing of the hard cover book? Any relation between hard cover and soft cover printing number? What about the METAFONT book?
