Excellent book! Has utility. But perhaps a CD of the tables might be more useful to readers?

There's a real problem nowadays with a book like this. With the increasing use of computers, the book's data should be able to be integrated easily with a reader's computer. But the quandary is that if the publisher makes a CD available, there is no effective copy protection. It is one thing if the book is mostly readable text, because most people still prefer to read a nice hardcopy, than from a computer screen. But no one really reads a table of numbers, per se.

So people who use this book may have to enter parts of tables by hand, or scan it in via optical character recognition.
