Ah, Jon Bentley (notice the extra 'e'). I should dig out my *Pearls

Yes, the Pearls books should be required reading for all new programmers. The
lessons are pretty timeless, it's only the
languages that change - and most of his examples seem to be
in a kind of pseudo Pascal dialect rather than real code anyway.
I believe they've been re-released as a single volume now.
Is this the book you are referring to?
http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Pearls-2nd-Edition-Bentley/dp/0201657880
Thanks!
That is a new edition of "Programming Pearls", but I can't tell from its
description if it also includes "More Programming Pearls: Confessions of
a Coder"
If the two were merged, I don't spot it any place on Amazon.
