I apologize for giving 2 stars to D. Knuth. Who am I to give such bad rating to him?

As I said, I do not feel comfortable giving 2 stars to D. Knuth. Not at all. However, I think that this is not a book at all but a code listing. Even more, it costs 100 $!
Looking that example of CWEB[...] usage, I do not think I will ever use it.

As an experiment on automatic documentation it is worth taking a look... not to that book but to the CWEB project. However, I do not see the benefit of printing that book. I would rather prefer reading an extension in his Volume 1, Fascicle 1 (Art of Computing Programming).

Let's be fair... At least it is interesting to read Knuth code style. Millions times better better than my own :P
