I saw in the CMU bookstore yesterday a book called {\it Concrete
Mathematics\/}, by someone, Donald Knuth, and someone.  When I went
back today to buy it, it was gone!  I would like to have the bookstore
order me a copy, but they can't because there seems to be no proof
that the book exists.  I don't know the first author, and the book
isn't listed in {\it Books in Print\/}.

The preface explained that the book was created as a result of a
course by the same name taught at Stanford.  There must be some
Stanford people out there that can tell me what I need to know (full
authors, publisher maybe, . . .).  Also, I'm curious as to whether the
book is as good as it seemed at first glance.
