Seeing Dr. A. N. Walker's article reminds me...

In my opinion, a programming language student should atleast
understand Algol 68 but reading the Revised Report can be
daunting.  An excellent introduction to A68 is ``Introductory
Algol 68 Programming'' by D.  F.  Brailsford and A.  N.
Walker (Ellis Horwood Publishers).  You may not find it in
bookstores as it was first published in 1979 but a good
library should have it.
