I've a copy laying on top of my right speaker. ;^) It's a good book to get if you're not familiar with SPARC assembler, and don't have a SPARC expert around to ask questions. It uses GAS and GCC, and is therefore fairly topical. The writing is of mediocre quality, but gets the message across. My biggest complaint is that it is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. This would be an OK book for $20, but at $70 it just sucks. -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
