Just out of curiosity I downloaded it. He's right about the margins, but
I see no fault in the page numbers, nor odd bold lines.


It shows up in the 'Contents' section.

I was amused by one section:


"[Chapter 19] chose the ill-fated example of DCC (Digital Compact
Cassette). The new version.... uses JPEG and MiniDisc as its examples."


Minidisc. Oh well. JPEG is still going though!


Ah, yes. These days I'd have used flac or mp3/4, but the book was published
in 2001. So shows some signs of the stone age. :-)

I deliberately used the old Philips chipset for the DAC example, though, as
it also let me show oversampling in digital filtering and other methods
that are generally quite handy. So the techniques are still widely used.
