It's my understanding that both books will cover C++ 3.0, or at least that's what my friendly Addison-Wesley rep tells me. I don't know where 3.0 is in the pipeline, so I don't know whether the books will come out on time or not. If I were you, I'd buy the current version of Lippman and worry about the latest stuff later (unless you absolutely have to be current with the absolute latest version). You'll have a couple of months start on C++. -- Voice: +1 503 646-8257 FAX: +1 503 248-6320 orders@techbook.com - or - Public Access UNIX site: +1 503 644-8135 ...!uunet!techbook!orders TECHbooks sells technical (and other) books at discounted prices.
