Hey Mike, It seems pricey, but since we are working in a hot, changeable
industry, it might be worthwhile.  Otherwise, I have to wonder why you are
not using your local Library, and if they do not have the book have them
get it for you via an Inter Library Loan (ILL).

Hell, your taxes pay for the Library - you are already paying for the
'service'.
