Not any more; as far as publishers are concerned, OOP means "out of
print" when applied to Ada :-(

Mike's book is now OOP, as is mine. We are now having to consider
teaching another language at Brighton because of the lack of suitable
textbooks for beginners. The publishers aren't interested because the
market's too small. And various sections of industry are complaining
that they can't find enough trained Ada developers, so they're being
forced to move to Java or C++.

Sigh.
