I finally found the time to read Richard Jones' new book and have posted my
review on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2UYL7W7WG10K0/

"This book gives a thorough and detailed review of modern garbage collection
algorithms including the tricky subjects of parallel, concurrent and
real-time collectors and yet remains comprehensible throughout. Moreover,
the information contained within is presented as a fascinating narrative
littered with interesting observations and insightful remarks, making this
book a real gem.

Anyone developing software built upon a garbage collector would do well to
brush up on the theory that underlies this core subject and there is no
better way than to read this excellent book!"
