Does anyone have a copy of `Algorithms in Combinatorial Geometry' by
H.  Edelsbrunner?  How does it compare to Preparata and Shamos' book
(do they complement each other or is it a waste of money to buy both)?
I'm trying to decide whether to buy the `corrected and expanded' P&S or
pick up Edelsbrunner instead.

Thx
Pat
