You've just booked my week solid, Cliff. I'll have to set everything else aside to devour this, and see how it's come on since 3rd Edition (which I own, coil-bound).
I'm an avid fan of FVJ, now in 2 parts, and glad you've now brought all of it up-to-date. With its wealth of illustrations t's got to be the most colourful programming manual I've ever read, both literally and metaphorically. And I really appreciate you making it available in PDF – still the most convenient way of seriously studying a document (on a large enough screen, of course). Fellow J-ers who don't know this book: this will be the best impulse-buy you've made all week. Just view the Preview on the Lulu page and read down the Table of Contents. (For your convenience, the code samples exist as downloadable pacman addons.)
