Java Concurrency in Practice may be an odd choice to be elected to the All Time Greats, but it is a very good book indeed.
I recently binned (recycled) about 30kg of computer books. I kept the Mythical Man Month, I kept K&R, but I got shot of many useless old tomes. Big books seem to sell, but they are usually either full of waffle and guff, or they are jammed with reference material which would be better on the web.Cats are evil.Comment
