Yes, this is a definite buy.

I have it and I would say it is a great help, I would recommend that you buy it as it is really helpful.

Yer do you think its worth teh price though

Definately. I've paid $40 to $60 for programming books that were not nearly as useful as the Blue Book. It is probably the best introduction to object oriented programming that I've ever read. On top of that, it is chock full of amusing footnotes that make it a much more interesting read than other dry and unexciting programming books. ;)

Still not convinced? You can peruse the table of contents here and even read the first chapter. :)

I am buying my self a copy to read over Christmas, :)

Yeah, lucky thing too..I punched a mirror when it stoped working, I spent this mourning getting 32 pieces of glass removed from my hand! (And now I have 6 new holes in my wall too!) But I got a new hard drive (now I ave two :)) I have a 520 meg HD to fill up with whatever I want, and a 1.5 gig for important stuff. My new ram sticks had to be ordered, and I got a new keyboard.
