Mmm. The only recent book I bought _was_ MR&C, hardcover too. I think
it was about $140 (special order).
Alas, bookstores have a limited selection these days. [I miss the
_original_ Borders on State Street in Ann Arbor.] Most of the ones
I've seen either spend too much time covering programming
fundamentals, or are padded out with problems in fields I do not know.
---> I might know that store.

If State st is the y-axis of Ann Arbor and it's near Washington as a
cross-street, I chose it over all other shopping opportunities available. I
was visiting a childhood friend who had opened a brewery on Washington. I
had some time before I could see her, and--strangely--didn't want to drink
beer, so I bought postcards there and asked where I might find a frisbee
park.

Ten miles west was a tournament with the world's best. Ken Climo ended up
winning. I miss Michigan.:-(

"That this social order with its pauperism, famines, prisons, gallows,
armies, and wars is necessary to society; that still greater disaster
would ensue if this organization were destroyed; all this is said only
by those who profit by this organization, while those who suffer from it
- and they are ten times as numerous - think and say quite the contrary."

~~ Leo Tolstoy
