And, hey!, if you consider that the _first_ book, and a supposedly "important" / "weighty" one at that, has more than the usual personality for a technical tome, can you imagine what Walter and I will come up with _together_? I'm really looking forward to getting down to the D book. He he he

Woo hoo!
I just received Imperfect C++ as an early
christmas present from my wife.
I couldnt believe that it only cost AU $59.95(with 20% discount).
Looks like it is even cheaper in the US(that sucks), but
it is still a bargain for over here.

Walter and I are about to start work on it in earnest very soon, probably as early as the start of next month. I hope to have it finished by early May, and then it'd be 2-3 months after that in production. So it's _possible_ that it'd be out in August, although it may be as late as the end of the year. These things take time, alas. ;)

Yup, the two main book chains here in the US (Aside from Amazon.com) are "Borders" and "Barnes & Noble"
