fame or shame?:-)

This textbook is one of the best CS textbooks authored by Dr. Stallings!
However, best among what?

It seems that there is a strange, perhaps not very healthy situation that
major CS textbooks are monopolized by Dr. William Stallings. Why
does not somebody even give Dr. Stallings some competition. I am
a believer of the competition. No competition, no better products.

I guess it might be that many CS professors, especially those highly
qualified (say at top 10) are busy at writing proposal rather than
spending time on an undergraduate textbook. If that conjecture is
true, it might be a shame for the whole CS academia. Those big NSF
or DARPA grants receivers should ask themselves, what have I
done for my students? remember most students never have
chance to read your grant proposal and most undergraduates
simply do not have time to even read your research papers
published in journals or monographs.
