BONNEY These books are not likely to be seen on the bookshelves of the professional who is working regularly on problems involving the use of linear programming algorithms and theory.

    Nor was this the authors' intention, since their efforts are directed more towards the operational research worker, systems analyst or manager who, working on a wider spectrum of problems, requires to know where L.

    The User's Guide achieves these purposes quite well and takes the reader gently along the familiar road, from introductory geometric chapters, through typical applications, to explanations of the simplex method, duality, sensitivity analysis, etc. The Illustrated Guide, by an author famous for his admirable theoretical book on L. Gone is the mathematical analysis, except briefly in an appendix, but in comes a witty humorous approach embellished by illustrations to lend point to the text.
