My copy reads First published 1997 by Prentice Hall Europe (Address lines) Copyright Prentice Hall Europe 1997 ... ISBN 0-13-507245-X It's hardcover, white cover with red around the spine (standard for this series edited by C.A.R. Hoare), black banner with "100th title" in red. The lack of any edition information leads me to surmise it's a first edition. Do you (or anyone) know if the "diagrammatic notation" has any currency among algebraists? -- Bill Wood _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
