I reviewed a previous book by Mr. Berry - "Advanced C Programming", also
published by the Waite Group - for Computing Reviews.  I found that book
to be poorly written and fraught with both typographical errors and
misstatements.  My closing comment was that I saw no reason for anyone,
novice, expert or student. to read the book.

I have not seen any copy of Mr. Berry's current work, and it may be quite
worthwhile.  ("Advanced C Programming" was targeted for novices; the new
book may be better if targeted for a different audience.)  I advise that
anyone interested in purchasing the C++ book read a reliable review first
or read the book in depth before purchase.
