I just checked, and you're quite right: the State Library of Tasmania has only one Forth book -- but it has two Python books (Python Essential Reference and Python Pocket Reference). Not that the local booksellers are any better -- I've only found one place that had anything better than the dreadful "Teach yourself Python in 24 hours", and since I bought Python in a Nutshell from them a year ago, they've not got any more in stock. Thank goodness for Amazon, especially as it's cheaper to order from Amazon than to get the bookstore to order a book in for me... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
