Thanks for the recommendations, Kent.

I probably shouldn't forget this either.  OOP is largely a mystery to me, and it's hard/impossible to read anything about it without a reference to that book.

By the way bookpool.com is my favorite place to buy technical books, their prices are often lower than Amazon.com and shipping is reasonable and fast.

Let me make my own quick recommendation for half.com, and alibris.com.   I like to look at those for any used copies before ordering new.  They are both listings from independent booksellers around the country, with standardized shipping.  I also have many under-a-dollar books of the non-technical variety from both places on my bookshelf. 

I end up buying technical books new about half the time, since newer ones hold so much value used.  I'm not ecstatic about ordering from Amazon on the best of days, so the recommendation is appreciated.

Thanks again,

Andrew
