这本书的第一版、第二版和第三版似乎每隔十年出版一次。目的是使本书保持最新。多体理论是一个随时间不断发展的领域。期刊只发表新成果，会议只邀请演讲者报告新现象，机构只资助科学家做新物理。今天的物理学明天就过时了。学生们想学习新的材料，教科书必须修改以跟上时代。本书的前几章教授了多体理论的技巧。它们在格式上基本没有变化。后面的章节将把这些技巧应用到具体的问题中。第三版增加了应用程序的数量。增加了新的章节，同时修改了旧的章节，以包括最近的应用程序。以前的版本是使用计算机技术前的类型设置。以前版本的计算机文件不存在。出版商扫描了第二版，给了我一张载有内容的磁盘。这种扫描准确地记录了单词，并将方程打乱成难以理解的形式。所以我用LaTeX重新打了方程。虽然很乏味，但它让我纠正了前一版中无数的印刷错误。早期的排版方法不允许这样的修改。整本书是逐句编辑的。这本书的大部分旧章节都通过编辑句子和段落而缩短了。
The first, second, and third editions of this book seem to occur at ten year intervals. The intent is to keep the book up-to-date. Many-body theory is a field which continually evolves in time. Journals only publish new results, conferences only invite speakers to report new phenomena, and agencies only fund scientists to do new physics. Today's physics is old hat by tomorrow. Students want to learn new material, and textbooks must be modified to keep up with the times. The early chapters in this book teach the techniques of many-body theory. They are largely unchanged in format. The later chapters apply the techniques to specific problems. The third edition increases the number of applications. New sections have been added, while old sections have been modified to include recent applications. The previous editions were set in type using pre-computer technology. No computer file existed of the prior editions. The publisher scanned the second edition and gave me a disk with the contents. This scan recorded the words accurately and scrambled the equations into unintelligible form. So I retyped the equations using LaTeX. Although tedious, it allowed me to correct the infinite numbers of typographical errors in the previous edition. The earlier typesetting methods did not permit such corrections. The entire book was edited sentence-by sentence. Most old sections of the book were shortened by editing sentences and paragraphs.
