You should have been able to get a copy of the ARM from or through your
local bookstore at any time since May'90. When I lived in Denmark, I ordered
all my major books from an English bookstore, though, to avoid getting hit
by the delays and exhorbitant prices imposed by the local academic
bookstores. You might consider doing something similar. I found that
even after paying air mails, shipping fees, and insurance I came out
ahead. For a poor student the difference was significant.

The reference is:

	Addison-Wesley, 1990
	ISBN 0-201-51459-1

There is no new edition done or planned. There have been several new
printings already and some minor corrections have been made. As ever,
I have posted such errata to the net to ensure that (given the errata)
all printings are equivalent. I'll post or mail the errata on request.
