    Whomever you spoke to was mistaken.  I called almost a month ago
about this book and another:

		Tony L. Hansen, AT&T Bell Laboratories
		The C++ Answer Book
		ISBN: 0-201-11497-6

		Stanley B. Lippman, AT&T Bell Laboratories
		A C++ Primer
		ISBN: 0-201-16487-6

>Is this book out?  Is it published by Addison-Wesley?  What's the ISBN?

Both books are highly recommended by a well know C++ programmer at Bell Labs.
An inquiry was made in the beginning of March as to when they would be
available.  At that time the projection was the summer.  However, a more
recent  phone call (April) to Addison-Wesley proved to be quite helpful.
The Hansen book will be stocked in their warehouse on May 1 and will cost
$26.95.  The Lippman book is due in the warehouse on May 15 and will cost
$30.25.


This information was given out over the phone by the person on the end of
their ordering phone number.
