I didn't see any used for that price. I'll look again, thanks. I think it sent me to amazon.ca, maybe that's why

I looked again and the second entry at Amazon is the hardcover version, used and it is the one at $34.
It is rather funny that Grune's name is misspelled on the cover of it.

I was mistaken. The link worked and I have several copies of the PDF now.

I feel you are more than qualified to write that perfect book on Parsing.

That should be easy. Just make a compilation of the Lounge posts...

Quote: I found the perfect book on parsing How do you know?
Did you read it?
If you have read it, then, what's the reason of buying it?

OK - so I've analyzed the situation.
- Essentially, you've actually parsed many books to find one that you feel is perfect.
- Needing the book naturally implies your parsing itself may not be perfect*
- However, since your parsing itself is imperfect you cannot be sure if this is the perfect book.
- Buying the book, however, will teach you if you parsed perfectly to find it!
- Unless, of course, you parsed imperfectly to ascertain its perfection, in which case it would
- only be perfect by mere happenstance.
- In which case, then, if it is not perfect you're back on the road, again.
Somehow, "Rinse and Repeat" seems the most appropriate closing at this point.
* We leap to the conclusion that you really meant the contents of the book are perfect.

This is true. The driver's door always tries to cut my leg(s) off when I get in or out. I could park facing DOWNHILL and the door will try close on my legs.
Thar's only two possibilities: Thar is life out there in the universe which is smarter than we are, or we're the most intelligent life in the universe. Either way, it's a mighty sobering thought.

Are those the famed 'suicide doors'? I have the opposite problem with mine...where the wife has parked a bit too close and the door just springs open further (on flat ground) of it's own volition...usually just missing her mirror, but not always.
Maybe it's time for a motorcycle?
