I bought this book because I already owned it's predecessor (same title, but for VS COBOL) and had found it to be extremely valuable. I still have it and use it occasionally when I have to work on old programs and need to clearify something. I have been coding in COBOL since the late 1960's. This is the best book I have ever owned on the topic. It is well organized and provides the answers I need when confronted by something I do not have committed to memory. I have used it so much it is falling apart and I need a new copy. I own several other COBOL books (about a half dozen) that are not bad, but this one is the best. I have been hoping Dr. Brown would come out with a new version covering COBOL for LE. I will buy it if and when he does.

Really good book and reference for all COBOL programmers, this book is actually a replacement of one that was 'borrowed' and not returned. Highly recomended.

The book truly was in great shape; clean and unmarked. Unfortunately the book was printed in 1982, which I didn't see from the picture. The book was well written and informational but was written for a much older version of Micro Focus COBOL than I had.
