I think that to do justice to debugging, you need to go over the whole
debugging mindset, and very few people document that. I know, I'm one
of the few.

This is going to sound like a crass promotion, but I think it's a valid
one: If I were writing a software book and wanted to address debugging
(and any software book had better), I'd write a chapter on debugging, in
which I'd recommend one of Steve Litt's troubleshooting books for a
complete mindset/habit/process reference.

Thanks,
