 Riverace Corporation
The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) is a modern, high-performance C++ toolkit that helps your engineering team to focus on its core competencies without needing to solve many of the same framework issues over and over on each new project.
ACE provides a wide variety of classes and patterns, allowing your engineers to concentrate on adding their domain-specific knowledge, and complete your projects in shorter times.
And, since ACE provides the framework and patterns commonly found in high-performance, networked, multithreaded systems, there is much less code for your team to write (and debug), reducing both your engineering and maintenance costs, now and in the future.

Books on higher dimensions with such beauty, breadth, and insight are rare.
One great achievement of the book is that it should help to overcome the feeling of bemused awe by which non-mathematicians are often overwhelmed when multi-dimensional space is mentioned.

 ComicsPriceGuide.com - My ACE graded books (BIG scans)
Seeing the way they are suspended had me worried about 'static seal damage' where the book could get stuck to the inner well and shear at the staples, but looking at the scans there doesn't seem to have been any stress at all.
CGC graded books have a denser feel than these (being slimmer in the centre), but the encasing materials are the same.
CGC books have a kind of rail around the outside of the outer holder which means for storage purposes they are the same thickness, but the front and back of the ACE holders are flush with the outer edges, giving a lot more room inside the holder.
