                 In spite of that admonition, I have an irrepressible
                 desire to make some highly subjective, potentially
                 pompous remarks about introductory programming language
                 textbooks. During the past nine years I have evaluated
                 dozens of manuscripts for eight publishers and hundreds
                 of books for teaching term-length introductory courses
                 in FORTRAN, BASIC, PL/I, PASCAL, COBOL and assembly
                 languages. I have co-authored two FORTRAN texts and
                 developed two independent study guides to programming.
                 Each time I see a text, I make judgments by reacting to
                 the material, rather than by comparing the material to
                 a pre-determined set of criteria. In order to provide a
                 ``structured'' review process (no computer-science
                 oriented paper is complete without a reference to
                 ``structure''), I offer the following criteria for
                 evaluating texts. This list is far from complete, but
                 it is a beginning.",
