Title: For the love of God, don't buy this book!
Review: I am a computer science student at a small private college, and for two semesters, my class used this book. This book weighed about five pounds, and I kid you not. Also, the index and glossary left a lot to be desired, the concepts were poorly presented, and the content of the book was dry and lifeless. Perhaps a good comparison for this book would be a DOS manual, or a book on quantum physics. A better book for an aspiring COBOL programmer would definitely be COBOL for Dummies, and not tihs book. For the love of God, DON'T buy this book!
