Thanks for this reference.

I have a copy of the 1990 edition, which is 291 pages.
It looks like the first addition contains a lot more
information.

I'm looking for tables of numbers, e.g., reported faults vs
time (cpu/elapsed). e.g., Table 1.1 in the 1990 edition
contains a list of 15 failures and the elapsed cpu (I assume)
time.

Does the 1987 edition contains lots of tables/graphs?
