Anyone >have the reference? Norman recently published a book with Chapman & Hall ... I don't know if Robin co-authored it or not. You can reach Chapman & Hall at (in the US) 29 West 35th STreet, New York, NY 10001-2291. I can't remember what the book's title is, sorry. While we're talking metrics books, I'd also suggest Horst Zuse's new book Software Complexity: Measures and Methods, published by de Gruyer (200 Saw Mill River Road, Hawthorne, NY 10532 - 914/747-0110). I'd say Horst's book is by far the best review of the complexity metric research literature I've ever seen [but it's a tad spendy - about $100].

ISBN 0-442-31355-1 US Publisher is Van Nostrand Reinhold. I highly recommend this book. It treats metrics as a science (no hand-waving). I am not sure how available it is in the US. It was just released in the UK, and is available at technical bookstores in London.
