I've got the '79 edition. Things have changed, no doubt, but the essential basics of digital logic and computer design may not have change so much. This book actually explains them, taking you through the whole thing. There is much redundancy in the way it is written, much overlap between one sentence and the next, etc., so that you are not left scratching your head about the relationship of a new idea to a previously explained one. Toward the end it actually takes you step-by-step through the actual design of a digital computer. I suspect that this single text is the "Gold Standard" for pedagogy in this very important technological area. Credit to Professor Mano for putting it all together in a comprehensible text.
