If you mean the jones/lins book, it's excellent[0]. Fully recommended to all.

Perhaps you're referring to this one [1]?

Thanks, I think I was confusing that with the 2nd ed, which doesn't seem to exist (in fact there is a 1999 2nd printing of the 1996 book with a different cover but with the same ISBN, just to make things worse, https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/rej/gc.html, so if you want to buy the later one which incorporate the errata from the first printing, check his website first. Publishers do make a mess of things sometimes).

Jones' website https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/rej/gc.html is excellent too.
