hmm, that comes out at around 45 quid, about double the price of the
haskell book i bought for my course and 50% more than the database
book (the most expensive one of the 6 or so I have). OTOH I live in
Glasgow, where people are generally poorer than average but also has
one of the highest literacy rates in the UK so this might be skewed
somewhat. Hell, the O'Reilly POSIX books for C doen't cost that much.

Quite. Especially in these days when everybody and their CEO is trying
to be more Open. ;)
