And what leads you to describe it as "the perfect book on parsing"? I mean you don't have it, so you don't know it in details and same would be for the other books.... so why that one is the 'perfect' one? :confused:

honey the codewitch

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

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[^]

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.

honey the codewitch

honey the codewitch

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.

I feel you are more than qualified to write that perfect book on Parsing.

Rick York

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.

honey the codewitch

Yeah it's locked down. They want their money!

The Greater London Regional and Lesser Liverpudlian (krap) idioms? I imagine it would.

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...

Rick York

I was mistaken. The link worked and I have several copies of the PDF now.
