I didn't see any used for that price. I'll look again, thanks. I think it sent me to amazon.ca, maybe that's why

I looked again and the second entry at Amazon is the hardcover version, used and it is the one at $34. It is rather funny that Grune's name is misspelled on the cover of it.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

I think that's the first edition. Cheapest i found the 2nd edition for was about $79 and change

If batting eyelashes doesn't work (hard to imagine)... :) The first edition is available for download on the (seemingly legit) author site: PTAPG_1st_Edition[^]
oh wow. I'll look into that thank you! Edit: No book there, just a link to the 2nd edition (to buy) and a note that the 1st edition is out of print. Oh well. I ended up finding it for about $80, that's a bit more reasonable than what i was looking at having to pay.

A PDF version of it can be found here : Parsing Techniques: A Practical Guide - Free Computer, Programming, Mathematics, Technical Books, Lecture Notes and Tutorials[^] -edit- it seems the PDF version is inaccessible from that page.

Fooled me the first time also: the top Title/link is for the pdf :) Seems like I need new four eyes, the link is only to an image. Hmm, the link seems to be PTAPG_1st_Edition[^] Found in freecomputerbooks.com website. It's still to the authors site, but don't know what to make of it...

How do you know? Did you read it? If you have read it, then, what's the reason of buying it? :-D
excerpts of most books are available online

OK - so I've analyzed the situation.
- Essentially, you've actually parsed many books to find one that you feel is perfect.
- Needing the book naturally implies your parsing itself may not be perfect*
- However, since your parsing itself is imperfect you cannot be sure if this is the perfect book.
- Buying the book, however, will teach you if you parsed perfectly to find it!
- Unless, of course, you parsed imperfectly to ascertain its perfection, in which case it would
- only be perfect by mere happenstance.
- In which case, then, if it is not perfect you're back on the road, again.
Somehow, "Rinse and Repeat" seems the most appropriate closing at this point. * We leap to the conclusion that you really meant the contents of the book are perfect.
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." - Albert Einstein
"If you are searching for perfection in others, then you seek disappointment. If you seek perfection in yourself, then you will find failure." - Balboos HaGadol Mar 2010
