Very Useful Cobol Book

I bought this book because I already owned it's predecessor (same title, but for VS COBOL) and had found it to be extremely valuable. I still have it and use it occasionally when I have to work on old programs and need to clearify something. I have been coding in COBOL since the late 1960's. This is the best book I have ever owned on the topic. It is well organized and provides the answers I need when confronted by something I do not have committed to memory. I have used it so much it is falling apart and I need a new copy. I own several other COBOL books (about a half dozen) that are not bad, but this one is the best. I have been hoping Dr. Brown would come out with a new version covering COBOL for LE. I will buy it if and when he does.
