I found a couple more new books at my local progressive book store. First, Addison-Wesley & Benjamin/Cummings have a pamphlet out called some- thing like: Title: "C++" subtitle: "C a Language We Speak Fluently" or at least that is a close as I can convey the cover graphics. In any case the pamplet covers a half dozen C++ and about a dozen C books of recent release. The pamphlet mentions one book I've never seen nor heard of before: "Hands-On C++ Programming" Joseph McIsaac and William M. Miller Addison-Wesley 0-201-51816-3 352 pages 1989 Anyone actually seen/read this? Also, this book store had: "Reusability & Software Construction: C & C++" Jerry D. Smith John Wiley & Sons 0-471-52411-5 542 pages 1990 A quick scan of the text shows it might be a reasonable book. The book is based on writing a character based GUI editor, first under C, then using C++. Target audience would be people working on GUIs, and/or people transitioning from C to C++. I will report further to the extent I read though it.
