Industry Reviews

A timely effort to educate a diverse audience on the basic concepts of data compression. I recommend this marvelous book to anyone doing work related to data compression, however remote the connection may be. Besides being informative, it is highly enjoyable. - IEEE Spectrum, September 1997
