Does anyone know where I can get hold of a copy of this book?  I believe
the full title and authors are "Programming in Pop2" by Burstall,
Collins and Popplestone.  I too have fond memories and sometime I'd
like to try out some of the concepts (e.g. dynamic lists, frozen values
for function arguments) in an OO language, such as C++.  Also, it has
a great 1970's space age cover like an aluminum foil space suit with
the name indented into it (the world's first Motif widget?)
