Dear Scoot, I am Carlos Iñiguez. I am teacher at Escuela Politécnica Nacional, Quito, Ecuador. Actually, I am teaching OO Analysis and Design at University. I have found very interesting your book titled The Object Primer (2 edition). I consider your book is fundamental literature for my students. Lastly, I can find where I can buy your book. Can you give some places where I can find it?

The second edition is no longer in print. The Third Edition, however, is. You should be able to order either from Amazon or Cambridge University Press.
