Hi,
About a week ago I purchased Merlin Blencowe's book "Designing High-Fidelity Tube Preamps" and noticed that every graph in that book was printed in "black and white".
This puzzled me because I have some parts downloaded as a pdf file where all the graphs are in colour.
Did I receive a "misprint"?
Does anyone on this Forum purchased that same book where those graphs are printed in colour?

Yes, I have the book, and no, the graphs are B & W.
Note to Merlin: your book is great, but why don't you sell a digital version of it? Looks better, and save on printing, shipping, and weight if it is to be carried around)

Ah! Thanks for your response Zung!
So I do not have to send the copy back to get a refund,
have two weeks time to do this and getting a money refund.
Mr. Blencowe did not find the time to give me a response on my pm to him.
But if I purchased the "hardware" version, is it possible to also download the "software" version without extra costs?
I once asked him about a digital version (since I only use my e-reader nowadays).
He replied with some kind of answer that it's up to the distributors or something.
But yeah, I also think it's for the "obvious" reasons.
I guess, if you want to have a e-book, you need to make one yourself from your own paid copy and a lot of patience.

And some of the images you might see may be from his web site:

Thanks Enzo for reminding me of his website and after revisiting his site and
(re)reading the page about the book I purchased, I completely overlooked this statement:
"Note, the PDF is in colour but the book itself is grayscale."
so : 😱😱
