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. Ken Shrum ...!hplabs!hpfcdq!shrum
