That said, even the original authors didn't do a particular good job
at selling awk's real strengths.
If i began my awk journey with that
book, I would've jumped ship to perl longlong ago.

Speaking of, I came across an announcement of a new edition:
The AWK Programming Language, Second Edition

"The book will be available by the end of September."

I've seen the entirety of the original 1988 book scanned and viewable in PDF format online
( I'll refrain from linking it here since I'm uncertain about
copyrights of the PDFs, but shouldn't be too hard to locate via google
search or somewhere on github )

It would be interesting to know whether it's just a reprint or
a reworked (updated/enhanced/extended) edition.

A mere reprint would not be called the "Second Edition".
