Three comments:

Please make sure that the binding is as good as the last edition.
I have seen other technical books cheapen up the binding, and AoE
is a reference that I use a *lot*.

Give extra care to the list of commonly-used "jellybean" components.
At least one major electronics manufacturer uses it as a checklist
item for design reviews; you can use other parts but you have to
have a reason why. You might even want to think about posting it
in sci.electronics.design and asking for comments.

I think it should be Horowitz and Hill on even numbered editions
and Hill and Horowitz on odd numbered editions. :)
