Well,
Last night (31 July, 2007 Australian CST), I decided to go get my
Solaris Performance and Tools (Sun Microsystem Press / McDougall, Mauro
and Gregg) which happened to be on the bottom pile of a set of books on
my kitchen table.
Opening the book, the pages seemed decidedly and uniformly moist and
they didn't have the same consistency as the book's companion, Solaris
Internals, which happened to live in my computer room.
I actually thought I was imagining things except I discovered that:
* the glue to bind the book is probably water soluble
* some of it had actually "leaked" out of the cover and managed to stick
some of the front and back pages together a tiny bit
...and after having left the book in the same computer room as its
companion, the pages look less moist (they look white as opposed to,
err, not quite white) and feel like paper.
I guess the moral of the story is:
* Don't leave Sun Microsystem Press books in a moist or damp kitchen
* Hope that if Sun Microsystems Press makes a cookbook they find a
different binding method (1)

(1) My "Every Woman's Cookbook" [it's a dinosaur but it's actually quite
useful because it keeps to the basics - ever tried to work out how
long to cook a plain, boiled potato with one of these fancy gourmet
cookbooks?] survives the kitchen...
