See our review of the second edition. The third edition is in hardcover and has been newly typeset, making the text much easier to read than that of the second edition. The most significant change in the content is the addition of a proof of the Riemann-Roch theorem to the first volume (sections 7 and 8 of Book I, Chapter 3).
