Nope, still one big deal.

Version 1.5.3, soon to be version 1.5.4.

True part: The generic version of `the book' on Minix, by A. S. Tanenbaum,
only comes in hardcover (at least as far as I know).

False part: There is a version of `the book' specific to the IBM PC which
is in paperback.  Check "Authors in Print" at your favorite local bookstore.

I own both of these.  I don't know if there are other books for other
(non-PC) architectures.
