Our copy arrived this morning after ordering it yesterday via the clbooks
web site (with which I was very impressed and would recommend to anyone
looking to order computer / technical books).

I've only browsed through the book so far, but what I've seen so far is
impressive.  This is clearly a must-have book for anyone who deals with
dates on computers.  Highly recommended.  It's also very readable and
includes much interesting history.  A good read of this book will prepare
you to utterly crush your competition in the next "is 2000 a leap year"
flame-war :-)
