I just received what was recently referred to as the "Ugly Reddish
Book" from AT&T (i.e. AT&T C++ Product Reference) That sounds like a
nickname that should stick!

Incidentally, they sent me the wrong book (release notes instead of
selected readings), and I called them up.  The woman apologized
profusely and is sending the proper book federal express.

The funny thing was she didn't want me to mail the wrong book back
because it 'wasn't worth it.'  This is great!  If they send it to me,
it costs me 20$, but they don't want me to send it back because it's
not worth it.  I think I've discovered some sort of economic diode!
