Frederick Philip Brooks

Frederick Brooks

These two authors are the same person. "The Mythical Man Month" and "The Design of Design" are written by the same person.

Also, I had to search by ISBN to find "The Design of Design". I think perhaps the search bar was removing the second "Design" from my search, thinking it was a mistake. Then when I went to Frederick Philip Brook's page, that book wasn't listed, hence the request for a merge.

Here's the ISBN for "The Design of Design": 0201362988
Here's an Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0201...

And for reference, a goodreads link to The Mythical Man Month, which is by the same guy, as mentioned above.

I merged the two listings as Frederick P. Brooks (this is how WorldCat had him listed). I can't answer your question about why you weren't able to find the book by serching by title. You might ask it in the feedback group or perhaps someone here might chime in.

Thanks Melody!
