Date: 20 Jan 1979 1445-PST
From: Boyer at SRI-KL (Bob Boyer)
Subject: Your book reviewed
To:   JRA at SU-AI

I am not suprised that your book got a nasty review.  The most recent
experience that I have had with the CR book review method were the
two reviews of Dijkstra's book "A Discipline of Programming."  The
book received two rave reviews.  I think it's a lousy book, and I
was delighted when Floyd completely panned the book in the American
Scientist.

I recently replied to a publisher who was inquiring about whether to
have a certain book written that I would us your book in a class
on the subject, that you had produced an excellent book, and that
it would be difficult for anyone to produce a better one.  It would
certainly take them years.
