A comment on Engineering a Compiler, 2nd Edition is out.

I repeat my criticism: I reported an error in the book twice to the email address that was specified for "errata," and never heard anything back:

I would hope that they have corrected this error in this version of the book, but their non-response to my report does not give me hope.

I've not read the book so I'm not sure how good it is. However, at times authors don't reply but they do include your name with acknowledgment so did you check the new edition? But if that didn't happen, then I totally agree with your sentiment.

They have a list of errata for the first edition, and it makes no mention of my correction:
