Unicode Technical Report #4 is available for $10.00 (plus shipping, handling,
and California State Sales Tax if ordering in California).

Many moons ago (about 12 to be more precise), when I was not actually
using Unicode in anger, Glenn Adams wrote (in the news group
comp.std.internat):

Now I'm actively working on converting an application to use Unicode
as its internal character set and have a couple of questions:

1) Is the "final printed copy of 1.1" actually available and, if so,
what is its ISBN? [My local bookshop couldn't find it, but that isn't
saying a lot - before now they've told me books don't exist when I've
already held other people's copies.]

2) If it isn't, are the above details for getting UTR #4 still correct?
[I remember Unicode Inc. moved, but can't find the @#$% file with the
details.]

TIA, Arthur
