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).
