Hint: to find an earlier version of an O'Reilly book you typically go to the page for the current edition and change the URL to the number of the edition you want. So if http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfjava2/ you'd find the first edition at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfjava/ [ September 01, 2006: Message edited by: Jeroen T Wenting ]
