"The C Standard" in book form is here!

Many people, including me, like having hard copy books at hand, along
with electronic editions.

When I first heard of this book several months ago, I pre-ordered a
copy. It arrived from Bookpool today.

The book is an impressive hard cover, printed in large and very
readable type.

The first section is the rationale, about 212 pages with its own
index. The second section is the standard itself, complete with
appendices and index. TC1 to C99 is included.

There is a one page forward by Dennis Ritchie and a four page
introduction by Francis Glassborow.

The particulars:

Title: The C Standard
Author: British Standards Institution
ISBN: 0470845732

List price is 34.95UK, 65.00US.

Since it has arrived at Bookpool it is most likely available now from
other sources as well.

<slightly OT>

A similar edition with the C++ standard is due out in about a month.

Wow, that sounds great. Would be very nice to have as a collectors item,
too.

Textbook size, several kilos. Can't say for sure how many trucks, it
was on my doorstep when I got home. But it doesn't overtax even my
aging muscles...

I picked it up from the Heffers store opposite Trinity College
in Cambridge (that's in England) last Saturday. I'm not sure
how long the three copies they had had been there then. It was
34.99 GBP (which is a small sum when put in relation to how much
I usually spend on books).

This rationale part... what does it contain (as a picture)? Like why were
some the decisions made or...?

Slightly larger than one volume of Knuth, next to which it is sitting on
my shelf.
I'm slightly disappointed by the binding, but nevertheless very happy to
have bought it.

Ahh, I live about 1/2 a mile from that Heffers! I might buy the C++
standard one, the rationale might be interesting (I still want to know
the rationales for the decisions behind ADL, template instantiation,
export, two phase name lookup, etc., that aren't covered in D&E).

Will the C++ one include the TC1 changes to the standard?

And by "K&R", you mean K&R2. I was recently shocked to visit my
university bookstore and find that K&R2 is more than twice the
thickness of K&R1. Of course, it has useful information in the extra
pages, too (such as the standard library functions); but it doesn't
look nearly as elegant when it's thicker than many novels! :-)

Take a look at the page counts. Later editions of K&R2 are
printed on thicker paper to make it look bigger.

My two copies look almost the same, except for K&R1 is a very early
paperback edition, and K&R2 is the now *apparently* out of print
hardback version, making it a bit thicker visually from the spine,
but the pages seem to occupy about the same amount of space.

If you are in Australia I would not order from BookPool - although they
offer a good range of books, I have had 3 shipments sent to Western
Australia in a space of 4 weeks and in all packages all books were
damaged (the box was not damaged at all). On the first order, they
shipped replacement books (which also came damaged), and with the second
order - I sent all the books back for a refund. I s/w their customer
service department about taking extra care with the books and packaging
(I even offered to pay extra for betting packaging) - (all my packages
were shipped via DHL).

If you are like me and are fussy about the condition of your books,
then I would recommend either paying the extra price for the book
in Australia and going to an actual bookstore, or purchasing
through bookware.com.au (they are reasonably priced and free
shipping over $120).

Just my two cents

It wasn't me that forgot Australia, it was the publisher. The two
prices I quoted, and only those two were printed on the back cover of
the book. I suppose I could have googled up a web site and spent a
few hours converting to 100 or so different currencies...

I'm sorry to hear of your experiences. I have bought quite a few
technical books from Bookpool, in fact I only look to other sources
when they don't carry the book I want. And I have literally never
received a book from them in other than perfect condition.

Perhaps your problems lies with some DHL operation along the route to
you location?

Illustrating flagrant ignorance of ISO standards for dates by all
parties concerned. :-) Today is 2003-09-13


And even for antifurrin(er) Merkins, ANSI X3.30 and FIPS 4 specify
y-m-d, and IIRC did so before ISO 8601. They don't specify time (of
day), or the interval and period stuff, or weeks, though.
