and such a thing. Is this referring to the Graham text
(in which case "Reference Book" should not have been
capitalized, as it was intended in a generic sense
rather than as part of the title)?
prohibitively costly, and compared to which the HyperSpec
seems to be considered preferable, more readable,
and more useful? If so, I wonder whether the "new edition"
would overcome the disadvantages of the current.
nowadays at the prices shown on Amazon ---
currently $150 to $800+?
