Thanks, Stan!
The current price on Amazon is 1¢. If I can get my wife to approve the expense, I'll check it out :)

The rest of the book is pretty good, too. These days you can get a used copy for as little as $4 (a penny plus $3.99 shipping) through an Amazon third-party seller or a new copy for under $15.
