Title: this book needs an editor!
Product review: On the internals of regular expression matching, this book is without equal. I found this book to be an excellent source of information on constructing efficient regexps in Perl.Unfortunately, this book is also without equal when it comes to *poorly* presenting information.The tables are unreadable -- visually impossible to decipher, cryptic, cluttered. Edward Tufte could use this as book as a prime example of how not to present information.And it's a shame, because there's a wonderful book buried inside Mastering Regular Expressions.If this book gets proper attention from an ORA editor, I could easily give it 5 stars. In its present form, it's nearly unusable -- 2 stars.--Pat / zippy@cs.brandeis.edu
