I saw this book announced recently: 

  GARBAGE COLLECTION: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory
  Management, by Richard Jones
    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, ISBN 0-471-94148-4, 403pg, USD 49.95
    http://www.ukc.ac.uk/computer_science/Html/Jones/GC/gcbook.html

I want to know if this book covers areas and subjects not mentioned in
Paul Wilson's survey (ftp://ftp.cs.utexas.edu/pub/garbage/bigsurv.ps).

If I've digested Wilson's survey, should I bother buying this book?

I'd appreciate any responses from people that have bought/reviewed
this book.

Please reply by email, I'll summarize.

Thanks.
Anand.
