5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely excellent, November 5, 1999
By "akienyy" (CUHK, Shatin, NT Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
I have followed the many editions of this book. It is a classic. In this latest offering, the author has managed to keep it up to date - not easy in today's fast changing world. Well done. Look forward to the next edition.
