Wow! Where did you find it?
The new string book by Elias Kiritis is also very good---judgin from a few chapters I read.

[onetwo]

And Michael Dine's new book is pretty good too.

Elias Kiritis的是不是就是hep-th/9709062？
我整理下相关电子书，都发上来吧。

这本是本论坛的greenhole发给我的。数理类书在emule上出奇地多，学生，特别是俄国人，喜欢做这类公益活动，把常用的教材或新书扫描了放emule上共享。这本也是来源于emule。我也下载了一大堆，准备整理些经典出来放论坛共享，特别是以读书会的形式，自己来系统学习和写作。

[onetwo]

no. That one is very short.
This new one will be out this april first. 600 pages.
