I'll be purchasing this. I like how the other book looked and it sits proudly on my desk at my co-working spot.

I suspect it is kind of like Knuth's TAOCP, in that it sits proudly on bookshelves more than it gets read.

The companion is fun to read, more like Wikipedia than TAOCP.

That's good to know. I'm more interested in topics of the new volume.
