How many of these are in print or available I cannot say, but there certainly seemed to be enough to choose from that one probably doesn't need to complain that there are no Ada books. BTW: As an early reviewer of Dr. Crawford's book, I can give it a very strong recommendation. It is targeting an audience of programmers who need to get up to speed with Ada quickly and may not need to find every nook & cranny of Ada right off. I found all the hyperlinks to be a big aid as well. It is a good place to start if you already know some programming language(s) and are just not familiar with Ada.
