I can only highly recommend this book too. One of the best technical
book I've read in a long time.

I have not read it. Dirk suggested that someone who seems to also not
have read it to suggest it to someone else.

Other people who have read the book responded to your question
praising the book, so it seems that you will be pleased by it.

Well no. Dirk suggested to me to recommend _a later edition_ of a book
that I have read many, many times. He did _not_ suggest me to
recommend a totally
unknown book. Nor did I suggest a book I did not read.

And it is really good. This is why I recommended it.
Because I _know_ it is good.

And just by reading the thread, it is pretty obvious that
this is what happened.

Different editions can be quite different.

In this case it does not seem to matter.

With kind regards,
