Bev, you're never gonna find those books where regular
people shop! You gotta go to a geek book store! Ask
the programmers where they shop for books (or the engineers,
mathemeticians, or other nerds). There's bound to be a
technical bookstore somewhere nearby (unless they're just
coastal phenomenon... I don't do well inland).
