I recently inherited from a member of this forum a nice textbook on Data Structures in Ada, but it was based on Ada 95, and I'm not sure it's in print anymore. In fact, and alas, only three of the Ada-based textbooks I find "easily" on Amazon date from the early- to mid-90s, and of the three recent ones I find, only the Barnes book is of good quality.

The only Ada95 DS book I know of is the one I have by Mark Weiss.
