From: Richard Phillips on 1 Jun 2010 12:26 I must apologise to the group for what some may deem a commercial posting. As many of will recall, just under a year ago, Erik Naggum died. I am a bookseller and acquired Erik's library from his family last year. Any of you who would like to receive a catalogue of the books in pdf format, please email me at this address: tinybook AT gmail.com. Many thanks, Richard Phillips book seller.

This gives me an idea for an interesting experiment. Buy the whole library, and give it to read to a young programmer, and see if we can turn him a Naggum v.2.0? -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com
