15 years after the first circulation in the form of lecture notes for Ravi Vakil's algebraic geometry class, his popular introduction to Grothendieck-style algebraic geometry »The Rising Sea« is now available for preorder as a published book by Princeton University Press. I still remember printing and working through the 2015 version of the text. Vakil offers a 30% discount with the code P329. Here is the relevant blog post: https://math216.wordpress.com/2025/09/10/september-2025-book-about-to-appear/

The free pdf (with less professional typesetting) is still available at https://math.stanford.edu/~vakil/216blog/
