Got it. It's OK, but I certainly haven't found anything BETTER on the market.
It's WAY too expensive for what you get; it would be much better at $20 or so.
Of course, only one other book on SPARC assembler seems to exist. This one
has nothing on SPARC64.
Sunnyvale would be a bit far for me; I ordered mine through the Knobs and
Boners (or is that Barnes and Noble?) in Sugarhouse. That would be Salt
Lake City to you.
