Hi Jim, It is on the Magnus's Web page :-) (I assume you mean
www.adahome.com). I haven't purchased from there, although I have been
tempted. Unfortunately for me, by the time you add the extra expense to
get the book quickly (1 - 2 weeks according to the shipping figures) and
the $ dollar conversion factor it is only marginally more expensive to
buy locally here in Australia (I base this upon a comparison of John
English's book, which I saw on the shelves last weekend).
Of course, the number of Ada books is very low here (Dymocks - a large
local supplier had only two Ada books on the shelf, Feldman's book on
Data structure and English's book).
