The second edition of the Stroustrup book has an ISBN of 0-201-53992-6 and is scheduled to be a $34.50 hardcover. The second edition of Lippman has an ISBN of 0-201-54848-8 and is scheduled to be a $32.25 paperback. Prices and bindings may change between now and then, of course. I would bet that the Lippman book would be more likely to make its scheduled release date, but it seems that most programs are delayed these days, which usually means that books will lag behind the release of a new version. If C++ 3.0 is on schedule, maybe they'll be out on time. -- TECHbooks offers many technical books at discounted prices. E-mail to info@techbook.com or fax to +1 503 248-6320 for details.

Is there any information available on what is new about the second editions of these books? For example, Lippman is presently compatible with AT&T 2.0. Does the new edition go to 2.1? Mostly bug fixes? I'd like to know because I was within one day of purchasing Lippman's first edition when this post came out. Brad Keister Physics Dept. Carnegie Mellon U

It's my understanding that both books will cover C++ 3.0, or at least that's what my friendly Addison-Wesley rep tells me. I don't know where 3.0 is in the pipeline, so I don't know whether the books will come out on time or not. If I were you, I'd buy the current version of Lippman and worry about the latest stuff later (unless you absolutely have to be current with the absolute latest version). You'll have a couple of months start on C++. -- Voice: +1 503 646-8257 FAX: +1 503 248-6320 orders@techbook.com - or - Public Access UNIX site: +1 503 644-8135 ...!uunet!techbook!orders TECHbooks sells technical (and other) books at discounted prices.
