2.0 out of 5 stars Badly dated, 4 May 1998
By A Customer
Although this book was needed in its day (copyright 1978, 1974), many of the examples are so dated that they've lost their relevance. Steve Maguire's more recent "Writing Solid Code" covers the very same material, but uses examples written in C rather than Fortran and PL/C. I recommend it instead.

3.0 out of 5 stars Originally outstanding, but now dated, 31 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This was the definitive work on programming style when first written, and is still a standard reference. However, it desperately needs updating, mainly in the examples, which are based on PL1 and a now-obsolescent version of Fortran.
