In the Preface (page x in my copy of the second edition, first paragraph),
it says:
"As before, all examples have been tested directly from the

I have not been able to find anything about availability. I have always
assumed that the authors wanted to reduce the suspicions of
typographical errors in typeset code, which are all too common in some
