 Yes, Grady Booch's new book is very good, but aside from the minor
complaints that are normal for any book, I have one VERY major
complaint.

 The type face that is used for example code is HORRID! There is
absolutely no space what so ever between the characters. This running
together of characters is bad enough for the normal type, on boldface
it is almost unreadable.

 This book has a lot of good information in it; reading it should be a
pleasant experience.  This very poor choice of type make it a chore
and an unpleasant one at that.

 Booch's new volume should be on everyone's book shelf, but it really
needs to go to a second printing to correct this type face.
