Don't buy this book.  I flipped through it in a book store and
decided it was probably pretty decent.  I bought it.  I read it.

It contains a lot of bad explanations and bad examples.
An early example program 'detabs' a file my replacing tabs
religously with 8 spaces.  Not a good solution.
Don't buy this book.
