A lot of people on the list really like "Ada as a Second Language",
but I'm not all that fond of it.  It's overly wordy and repetitious
in some spots.  The book is ~1100 pages, probably 500 pages longer
than it needs to be.

On the other hand, It certainly is higher quality than a lot of books
out there and it is the only Ada book I own.  It is complete and
doesn't really have that many mistakes for a book it's size.  It just
really need a good hack and slash editor to cut it down to size.

Just my 2 cents worth.
