I have already seen a rather comprehensive comparison of all changes. Reading close to 2000 pages in one day and even comparing it to the previous vers.. sorry edition is quite an achievement. </p> <p>Guess a) is the writer an ITIL trainer and b) was the report quite positive. I'm quite sure you all guessed right.</p> <p>Aale</p> Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:23:18 +0000 aroos comment 8367 at http://www.itskeptic.org http://www.itskeptic.org/my-how-itil-has-grown-size-new-itil-v3-2011#comment-8327 <p>As Arjen Droog points out on Twitter, the size increase says nothing about the extent of the revision to the existing pages as well.</p> Fri, 15 Jul 2011 20:13:55 +0000 skeptic comment 8327 at http://www.itskeptic.org http://www.itskeptic.org/my-how-itil-has-grown-size-new-itil-v3-2011#comment-8325 <p>When you use terms like Density and Thickness regarding ITIL and OGC, I think of things other than the size of a book.</p> <p>Best Regards,<br /> BobGrins</p> Fri, 15 Jul 2011 16:15:42 +0000 bobgrins comment 8325 at http://www.itskeptic.org http://www.itskeptic.org/my-how-itil-has-grown-size-new-itil-v3-2011#comment-8324 <p>More pages, heavier, does not mean more content. At one stage I thought I read somewhere the books might be printed in a small more compact format - if so that would account for the extra pages. Not sure how to account for the weight except to say that 4.459kg divided by 1343 pages = @3.32g /page. 6.981kg divided by 1,959 pages is about @3.56g/page. So I can only suspect the density of ink is greater, or the page thicker? Perhaps more text than diagrams - who knows. Size and weight may matter to some, perhaps those who resell and ship, but I would value more a list of new concepts in each volume - perhaps a table of contents????</p> Fri, 15 Jul 2011 14:35:07 +0000 ianclayton comment 8324 at http://www.itskeptic.org http://www.itskeptic.org/my-how-itil-has-grown-size-new-itil-v3-2011#comment-8323 <p>This is comforting to know that it'll be easier to throw the ITIL V3 "refresh" books at the OGC compared to when "ITIL 2012" arrives and people start throwing 2011 at them.</p> Fri, 15 Jul 2011 12:34:02 +0000 Michael comment 8323 at http://www.itskeptic.org http://www.itskeptic.org/my-how-itil-has-grown-size-new-itil-v3-2011#comment-8321 <p>Rather an extra of more than 2.5 kilos.</p> <p>Un saludo,</p> <p>Pablo</p> Fri, 15 Jul 2011 11:39:43 +0000 Visitor comment 8321 at http://www.itskeptic.org
