Such exploits made Knuth a topic of discussion among the mathematics department, which included Richard S. Varga. In January 1962, when he was a graduate student in the mathematics department at Caltech, Knuth was approached by Addison-Wesley to write a book about compiler design, and he proposed a larger scope. He came up with a list of twelve ...
A new edition of the book had to be typeset again. An old technology was called hot type, where they poured molten lead into a form to make a plate that was used to print. Later they used photo offset which produces a low qualty product. Since the book was going to have to be typeset again, Knuth decided to work on typesetting by computer.
Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About (2001) is a book by Donald E.

Knuth is often unable to answer immediately when a reader finds a mistake in one of his books or programs. In some cases, the delay has been several years. For example, on 1 July 1996, Knuth sent out more than 250 letters, 125 of which contained checks, for errors reported in The Art of Computer Programming since the summer of 1981.
LONDON/SINGAPORE (Reuters) -European shares ticked up on Thursday after falling the previous day, while Asian stocks slipped, as trading volumes thinned ahead of the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.
The book is based on a course begun in 1970 by Knuth at Stanford University. The book expands on the material (approximately 100 pages) [1] in the "Mathematical Preliminaries" [2] section of Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming. Consequently, some readers use it as an introduction to that series of books.
