i've just received this news from don knuth:
A brand new printing of my book Digital Typography (1999) has just
arrived on my desk, and I must say that I'm enormously happy to hold
it in my hands, because hundreds of things that readers pointed out
in the first printing have now been corrected. (The errata page at
http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/dt.html
lists more than 220 items, and dozens more things were tuned up
that were too "fiddly" to mention there.)
amazon still lists only the 1998 edition,
likewise only the 1986 edition of the
Computers & Typesetting series (hardbound)
which have also recently been reissued in
newly corrected printings, so if you want
to make sure what you get is the updated
version, it's probably best to directly go
to the publisher, at least for now.
