Every time BBN gets mentioned, I'm reminded of the book, "Where the Wizards Stay Up Late", where they get some mention and credit.
Unfortunately, a garage flood took out my copy, shortly after a move. But as I recall, I rather enjoyed the read.
- timrichard 8y agoThere seem to be a few formats on Amazon, including an unabridged audiobook [1] : http://www.amazon.com/Where-Wizards-Stay-Up-Late/dp/0684832674/ http://www.amazon.com/Where-Wizards-Stay-Up-Late/dp/06848326... Kindle edition sells to US-only accounts though, which is a bit annoying :-( [1] The Kindle version + Audible upgrade is nearly always cheaper than Audible alone. Not sure why.

- timrichard 8y agoAh, maybe it's just the UK :-(
- newnewpdro 8y agoI'm currently reading a used hardcover copy I picked up for a few bucks. About halfway through and it's been largely uninteresting bureaucratic fluff, from the perspective of an engineer. This has been one of the slowest reads for me in a very long time. Normally I end up inhaling the books I read, this thing I can't wait to put back down every time I resume.
