I just finished my first reading of Philip J. Koopman, Jr.'s "Stack Computers,
The New Wave" available from John Wiley & Sons.  I'm only a dilettante
when it comes to Forth and Forth hardware, but this is the best book
I've read about Forth since "Starting Forth".  Mr. Koopman did a great
job of organizing information about the latest developments in Forth
hardware and presenting convincing yet even-handed arguments for their
acceptance.  Although the price was what you'd expect for a hardbound
specialty book ($58), it was worth it to have that much information
collected in one book.  Anyone doing research in this field should at
least get a look at this book and anyone trying to convince their
co-workers to take the Forth path should buy it and pass it around.

If you're out there Mr. Koopman, thank you for the right book at the
right time.
