Hello All, While I was in Stanford last year, I have met Don Knuth several times, and , yes!, he said he is a reader of Annals. And Dave Walden covered TeX meeting 2010 in Events & Sightings! Don Knuth has been active, and working as throughly as he could for years and years to publish the new volume. Finally done! How nice! -chigusa 2011/1/26 David Alan Grier <grier@gwu.edu>:
Paul, Knuth split volume 4 in half almost two decades ago. I have seen a Kinkos version of the Combinatorics & Boolean function volume, which I would assume would be the first of the two. I saw Knuth at my last talk at the Computer History Museum. At the time, he told me that he read the Annals regularly.

Amazon has listed volume "4A" of Knuth. I won't believe it until I get my hands on it. Volume Three (Sorting and Searching), was published in 1973. Does this strike anyone else besides me as strange? Knuth had a huge influence the history of computing--besides his contribution to computing. I use the past tense because I haven't seen Volume 4 yet.
I wrote a bit more on this in the IT History blog (ithistory.org/blog).
