+Project: address-book-io
+Authors: David J. Barnes and Michael Kölling
+
+This project is part of the material for chapter 12 of the book
+
+   Objects First with Java - A Practical Introduction using BlueJ
+   Sixth edition
+   David J. Barnes and Michael Kölling
+   Pearson Education, 2016
+
+A simple address-book implementation.
+
+How to start this project:
+    Either: Create an AddressBook object and add
+    contact details (such as name, address, and phone) to it.
+    Or: create an AddressBookDemo and use its getBook method.
+
+Create an AddressBookFileHandler to illustrate some basic
+input-output operations on an AddressBook.
+
+User instructions:
+    + Search results are saved to "results.txt" in the project folder.
+    + The file "sample.txt", in the project, folder contains a sample
+      entry that can be added, using the addEntriesFromFile of
+      the AddressBookFileHandler.
+    + A complete address book object may be saved, in binary form,
+      using the saveToFile method. This may be read in again with
+      readFromFile.
