	I just scanned the book at the bookstore today.  I also failed to
be impressed by it.  It seemed to me that its presentation style did little
to take advantage of object-oriented design approaches possible with C++.
It looked like a 'C' tutorial with extra material added.  This is *not* a
good approach to learning C++!  So far only the original book is any good.
