Thanks to Jan Wolff for transforming the original PDFs from Paraglyph Press into this more useable form. Jan consolidated Paraglyph's multiple files into a single file, and remove the cutting marks from around the page edges to make it more readable.

You can order a copy of the book from Paraglyph through their distributor, O'Reilly:

NOTE: There is an error in the copyright notice printed in the version of the book sold in bookstores. The book is available under the GNU General Public License — see here for details.

The electronic copy of the 3rd edition comes directly from the publisher's PDF files. Due to certain complexities of the publishing process, there are no source files from which the PDFs were generated. Therefore, I simply distribute the PDFs as masters; they serve as both source and binary format. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you have tools able to convert PDF to a more editable format, please contact me at bug-cvsbook@red-bean.com. I'd like to offer the book in editable form, only technical difficulties prevent it.

There are also some translations available, though as far as I know these are only of the 1st edition:

- German
  The MITP-Verlag, has made a German translation, see http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/translations/german/.

- Japanese
  Takeuchi Kahori <take-k@secom-sis.co.jp> has started a Japanese translation; please see http://kahori.com/j-cvsbook/.

- Spanish
  A spanish translation is underway, see http://cvs.hispalinux.es/cgi-bin/cvsweb/doc-cvsbook-es/.

Errata:
If you have a copy of the first printing, you may wish to consult the list of known errors. This list applies only to the treeware, and only for the first printing. The second printing has corrected these bugs. The second and third editions may contain other errors; I am slowly combing through my mailbox to see if anyone has mentioned any.

## Alternate Formats for the 1st Edition

Because I have source files for the 1st edition of the book, I am able to offer it in several formats besides PDF:

- On-line HTML.

Please email bug-cvsbook@red-bean.com regarding problems with this website.
