As I may have said, everyone I know in computers has a number of books
from this publisher - he specializes in not only finding people who
really, really know their subject, but CAN ALSO COMMUNICATE WHAT THEY KNOW
(as opposed to, say, the BAL textbook I had in college, many years ago,
that if I could have gotten the rights to, I'd put all the pharmaceutical
co's market for sleeping pills out of business....)
