[comp.windows.ms] ACTOR book?

hcd@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Hugh Davis) (02/06/90)

I recently saw a reference to a book called "Object Oriented Programming
Featuring ACTOR" by Marty Franz.  I wrote to the publishers
representatives in England asking for an inspection copy, but they deny
its existence!   Can anyone tell me who the publishers are, and the ISBN
number ?

Thanks in advance.

According to the latest issue of The Whitewater Group's newsletter Currents
the book is published by Scott, Foresman and Company and has a price of
US$24.95.  The phone number for the publisher was given as (800) 628-4480.
(That number most likely is not good outside of the US though.)

(I know that all of this wasn't necessary for what the poster wanted to do,
but I figured I'd post all that for others that might be interested in the
book.)
