It's WAY too expensive for what you get; it would be much better at $20 or so. Of course, only one other book on SPARC assembler seems to exist. This one has nothing on SPARC64. Sunnyvale would be a bit far for me; I ordered mine through the Knobs and Boners (or is that Barnes and Noble?) in Sugarhouse. That would be Salt Lake City to you. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
