Surely...

	As chance may have it, I bought this book a few days ago, and
	have it on my desk here... upside down too, so the ISBN number
	yelled at me as I glanced across:

		ISBN:	0-13-821984-2

	This is the Prentice Hall International edition.

	Seems like quite a good book in general, develops several useful
	Unix-alike tools before turning to developing a vi like editor.
