[DMANET] eBook announcement: Graph Theory 4; discounts until 15 August

The 4th edition of my Springer GTM173, Graph Theory, is due to appear in
mid-August:

http://diestel-graph-theory.com/

I negotiated the following deal with Springer, with some pros and cons
for users of the (currently free but unprintable) 3rd electronic
edition, in case you think of updating:

- The full ("professional") electronic edition is now _printable_; it
comes as personalised PDF

- There is an inexpensive "student" edition (unprintable, but
searchable, in a nice eBook look)

- The basic text will continue to be available free online, but is
neither printable nor searchable.

There is also a "course notes" licence, which will allow you to hand out
printouts in class made from the professional edition.

All electronic editions can be used on an ordinary computer, with free
Adobe reader software.

Once the book is officially launched (at the ICM), the eBook prices will
be tied to the print edition: same price (EUR 49.95) for the
"professional" electronic edition (printable + internal links, TOC etc);
half-price (25.00) for the eBook "student" edition.

BEFORE 15 August (while Springer are trying to sell off their remaining
copies of the 3rd edition in their Yellow Sale), prices are not tied,
and there are substantial discounts (available through
http://diestel-graph-theory.com/):

- professional edition for 29.95
- student edition for 12.50

This special offer will lapse on 15 August - so use it now if you think
it's worth it.
