< Addison-Wesley just sent me a teaser for "The C++ Answer Book" by Tony L.
< Hansen, 550 pp., paper.  I heard Bjarne recommend this book (I think it
< was this book) at SD '89 in February.  Has anyone seen this book yet?

Yes, I've seen it. :-) (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Here's the scoop: I'm a stickler on portability. One of the major code
examples within my book is not portable enough and the book will not go into
final production until that problem is worked out. Sorry. If you order it
now, your order will be put in backorder status until the book's out.

< I'd order it from the teaser but they want to sell it with "The C++
< Programming Language."  I already have two copies and don't need a third.
< Has anyone seen it in the stores?

This is false. It will be orderable separately.

< Tony L. Hansen, AT&T Bell Laboratories
< The C++ Answer Book
< ISBN: 0-201-11497-6
< Addison-Wesley, $26.95

This information is all correct.
