Well c++ampers,

I've had my Tech Library searching and ordering and I still can't get
my hands on the "NIH Class Library Owners Manual", better known as:
"Data Abstraction and Object-Oriented Programming in C++"
by K. Gorlen, S. Orlow, and P. Plexico (ISBN 0471 92346 X).

What's a new C++ programmer in need of decent classes to do?
They keep telling me: "It's on back order."
I can't seem to borrow a copy from another library.

Three questions:

(1) Does it exist?
(2) Is it worth it?
(3) If you have it, will you rent me your copy for a while?  (1/2 :-) )

Gor-Or-Plex-ing through the source code (I FTP'd it) gives me the willies  :-).
