	Based upon your recommendation, I went to Powell's Technical
	Bookstore and purchased a used copy of the book for 17.50.
	I have only had a few minutes to glance through the book but
	 have already recognized ways in which the book will be useful.

	I agreee, the organization of the book is very helpful.
	There are four or five projects that I have an interest
	in working on and that via my brief overview, believe that
	the instructions will assist me.



Thanks for the recommendation.
