  1. Are there major differences from the 2nd edition? I bought the 2nd edition years ago and it's amazing. I wish other sifrei halacha (English and Hebrew!) were as well organzied and well written.

  2. Hi, Perhaps one day you'd like to present your review of Rav Yochanan Metzger's Eiruvei Ha'ir Vehashchunos.

    It's in Hebrew only, so the market is different.

  6. A suggestion: You might want to consider releasing the new Appendix as a Kindle ebook for $2.99. They pay authors 70% .

    For those like myself who have (and enjoy!)the 2nd edition but don't live in the USA so shipping adds a good deal, it would be a useful option.
