This is EASILY the most informative book that I own... Before I
purchased it, I didn't know exactly how valuable it would be...  No
other book in my library gets as much use now, and mine is now sitting
next to me at the computer for sanity check during design.  I try to
take on some subsection each night before sleep, and I realize that each
section could be read many times to get the full meaning.  I'll be long
gone before I master all that's between those gray covers.  There's that
much information.

The thing I like most about the book, is both the ammount/density of
information, and the way the authors don't confuse or belittle the
reader.  It's clear with LOTS of information and examples.

RECOMMENDATION:  If you're just starting out, or want the definitive
answer to all your questions, pony up and spend the cash.  I think it's
well worth the price, and not really much more expensive than a lot of
lesser books that just sit gathering dust.
