Has anyone had a chance to As they say, "you heard wrong". :-) Both books are currently scheduled for June release by Addison-Wesley. The second edition of the Stroustrup book has an ISBN of 0-201-53992-6 and is scheduled to be a $34.50 hardcover. The second edition of Lippman has an ISBN of 0-201-54848-8 and is scheduled to be a $32.25 paperback. Prices and bindings may change between now and then, of course. I would bet that the Lippman book would be more likely to make its scheduled release date, but it seems that most programs are delayed these days, which usually means that books will lag behind the release of a new version. If C++ 3.0 is on schedule, maybe they'll be out on time. -- TECHbooks offers many technical books at discounted prices. E-mail to info@techbook.com or fax to +1 503 248-6320 for details.
