You keep mentioning that book...sounded like a very nifty thing.
So I looked it up at Amazon, thinking a solstice present for myself. 

Ulp! Third edition is US$200. It *is* over a thousand pages, and published in
1999, so it's gotta be fairly current. 

It's also 3-5 weeks backordered though...I may wait until I pound my way through
instrument training...*that* book cost almost as much (even though it came with
a sexy flight bag) and I ain't done with it yet.
