Addison-Wesley just sent me a teaser for "The C++ Answer Book" by Tony L. Hansen, 550 pp., paper. I heard Bjarne recommend this book (I think it was this book) at SD '89 in February. Has anyone seen this book yet? I'd order it from the teaser but they want to sell it with "The C++ Programming Language." I already have two copies and don't need a third. Has anyone seen it in the stores? --marc -- //Marco S. Hyman //UUCP: ...!sun!sfsun!hsfmsh!mhyman //Domain: sfsun!hsfmsh!mhyman@sun.com

I've never seen it either, but from the above, I thought it might be worth ordering. I called up Addison-Wesley and they said that they had never heard of it. Is this book out? Is it published by Addison-Wesley? What's the ISBN? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Mitchell whm@sunquest.com Sunquest Information Systems sunquest!whm@arizona.edu Tucson, AZ {arizona,uunet}!sunquest!whm 602-885-7700

Whomever you spoke to was mistaken. I called almost a month ago about this book and another: Tony L. Hansen, AT&T Bell Laboratories The C++ Answer Book ISBN: 0-201-11497-6 Stanley B. Lippman, AT&T Bell Laboratories A C++ Primer ISBN: 0-201-16487-6 >Is this book out? Is it published by Addison-Wesley? What's the ISBN? Both books are highly recommended by a well know C++ programmer at Bell Labs. An inquiry was made in the beginning of March as to when they would be available. At that time the projection was the summer. However, a more recent phone call (April) to Addison-Wesley proved to be quite helpful. The Hansen book will be stocked in their warehouse on May 1 and will cost $26.95. The Lippman book is due in the warehouse on May 15 and will cost $30.25. This information was given out over the phone by the person on the end of their ordering phone number. George W. Leach AT&T Paradyne .!uunet!pdn!reggie Mail stop LG-129 reggie@pdn.paradyne.com P.O.

Has anyone seen this book yet? Yes, I've seen it. :-) (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) Here's the scoop: I'm a stickler on portability. One of the major code examples within my book is not portable enough and the book will not go into final production until that problem is worked out. Sorry. If you order it now, your order will be put in backorder status until the book's out. < I'd order it from the teaser but they want to sell it with "The C++ < Programming Language." I already have two copies and don't need a third. < Has anyone seen it in the stores? This is false. It will be orderable separately. < Tony L.
