Another boost book we are expecting is boost proto. It is a great library.

So far, I am referring to the link proto_doc_pdf <http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=boost_proto-1.37.zip&directory=PDF%20Documentation&>  for the nice pdf documentation.

May be, Eric will oblige us by penning down the greatest library in boost: proto in a book form in very near future.

 

Thanks,

Chandra
